I learned the art of stain glass from my dad.
One day at a thrift store, I was looking at a really fine bone china plate. It look just like glass. I wondered if I could cut it with my stained glass equipment....
I could! and Red Pine Jewelry Design was created.
I love the idea of taking something that might have meant a lot to a loved one off the shelf and made into something to wear and hold close to you. One of my clients told me once: the best part of necklace that I made for her was that it was so unique. That people often commented on it, giving her a chance to talk about and remember her mom.
I LOVE CUSTOM ORDERS!!! I can turn YOUR personal family china plate into unique, special, one of a kind jewelry. What a great way to preserve you family memories.
This is also a great personal gift for Christmas, Mother’s Day, bridal parties, and birthdays.
What I do
I can make necklaces, earrings, bracelets, key chains, wine bottle stoppers, pins, etc from china, glass, pottery, and other dishes. I am happy to work with you to create something unique. I work in sterling silver plated necklaces, bails and other findings. I can leave edges sanded and smoothed or I can frame them in a stained glass black edging.
For ideas or examples of my work see my shop at www.RedPineJewelryDesign.Etsy.com. I recommend looking at my “sold” section on the left side for examples of completed work. Start to finish I can complete your order in as little as 2-3 weeks.
