I use a special wax to preserve the patina on the jewelry. This is not a sealer and with time can wear off. In order to preserve the patina as long as possible, it is recommended not to get the jewelry wet, use soap or cream. A simple shinning cloth for jewelry will keep your jewelry shiny. No shinning liquids should be used. Regarding Copper Jewelry. Copper jewelry may turn your skin green, however everyone is different. This effect may or may not happen. Normally a person with a high acidic sweat will have this result. Therefore copper jewelry may not be the best choice. Most of my copper designs are also available in sterling silver

Gift wrapping and packaging

All my creations are created and packaged in a smoke free environment. However my studio is not pet free, my cat is always close by. All packages are gifted wrapped.

For all custom orders over $100.00 a 40% deposit is required.

I do my best to capture the true colors of the stones in the photos, however all computer resolutions are different therefore there may be some slight variations.

This listing is for a digital PDF download of a hollow form tutorial.

This tutorial explains various way how I create hollow forms and texture metal. The tutorial is 10 pages long with process photos and instructions. I always love creating hollow forms, I feel they give beautiful dimension to your jewelry piece. Learning new metalsmith techniques always gives the artist a wider range of design choices.

In this tutorial I only explain how to make the hollow form, not the finished jewelry piece. You can see how I used the hollow forms in my jewelry creations in the above photos.
