    • One of pair of earrings. A dear friend brought the lapis from India. The purple iolite seems a perfect complement.
    • I set plant parts in a flask filled it with casting investment then burned them out and poured molten silver in.
    • Lucky me; we have a great little workshop. About half of it is my workspace with jeweler's bench and solder station.
    • If you request gift wrapping, my DixSterling box will be wrapped in gold paper and tied with glittery siver ribbon.
    • I was honored to work with a client's beautiful, hand-cut stones to create three pieces, including this OOAK pendant.

    Finding Joy in Silver and Stone

    I always played with art, from crayons through pastels and charcoal, to oils, acrylics and watercolors. Then a flyer for a silver jewelry course caught my eye. Intrigued, I enrolled — and fell in love. Being able to manipulate metal into a shape of my choosing was pure delight. Texturing it was magic. Melting and pouring silver was alchemy. I was hooked.

    I opened DixSterling in 2009 and it took awhile to get the hang of etsy. I had a LOT to learn about product photograph, promotion and social media. In May, 2013, I took a deep breath and began blogging. I also joined the Creative Jewellers Guild of British Columbia — a great place to share ideas and techniques with other artisan jewelers <http://www.creativejewellersguild.com/Home_Page.html>.

    I still keep on learning and few things give me as much pleasure as sitting at the bench and picking up my torch or a hammer.

      About 20 years ago, on impulse, I enrolled in a silversmithing course and fell in love with silver and stones. Everything in my shop springs from my head and hands. I hope one of these pieces will become your signature piece.
