NOTICE: PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE: redemberforge.com TO SEE ALL WORK FOR SALE
I am thankful for all of my Etsy customers, but Etsy's fees have gotten to the point where I've had to add too much of a mark up to my jewelry. It's time for my own site. Past time. I will keep some pieces here on Etsy, just because people have found me here, but please come see everything I have available, at my in-person selling prices, on my own e-commerce website. THANK YOU!!!!

See Red Ember Forge in person in 2025!

December 6, 2025 - the Toad-ally Awesome Holiday Sale, one day only, at the Independent Media Center in Urbana, Illinois. Behind the downtown Urbana post office. A smaller but great sale with some of my best friends in the local artist community, coinciding with a larger and more varied (less artist-made stuff) going on at the same time in the adjacent mall; so you can hit both.

_________________________________________

PLEASE NOTE SIZES IN THE LISTINGS. Some of these pendants are large statement pieces. Check the photos for how it looks when worn and check the measurements. Cuff bracelets do not have much (if any) room for adjustment so please check your wrist size before ordering.

_______________________________________

I do not take commissions except for making a different size of SOME of the cuffs I have for sale on my website.

Really cool pendant my only complaint I can’t find a .925 stamp.

Tedra responded on Dec 1, 2024

This is a valid complaint. I've never marked my work with the .925 stamp, but everything I make is sterling silver. I only work in sterling silver. Some pieces are too small or thin to have a place for the stamp (but that is not the case for this Fordite piece). My apologies. I will get a .925 stamp and a logo stamp to start marking my work in 2025. Thank you!

I am absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship and beauty of this gorgeous work of art! I've had an obsession with the Wendigo legend for over 40 years, so being able to put one on such charming display as a pendant is phenomenal! The skill and intricacy that went into fashioning this little guy is immense, and I want to thank Tedra again for sharing that talent with the world. This is definitely going to be a treasured piece for me, and I'll undoubtedly be back for more in the near future! I'm beyond elated!!!

Beautiful piece that highly exceeded my expectations. The photo did not do it justice. Incredible detail and so unique. The shipping was super fast. Communication was great, and all of my questions were answered. I had a hard time making a decision because everything is so beautiful. I highly recommend this very talented artist/ seller.

Tedra's work is terrific. Her silver smithing style has generated some really great pieces, but I was SO excited to see these hat bands. This is not my first Red Ember Forge piece and it won't be my last. (Even her packaging is artistic and thoughtful).

I love this pendant - it's exactly what I wanted! So happy to have the real thing match my expectations after being unhappy with many online jewelry purchases. Quality is great, communicating with Tedra was wonderful, and it arrived quickly. Would definitely purchase here again.

Tedra responded on Nov 26, 2023

Thank you so much for your purchase and your kind words. They are greatly appreciated. I will never tire of creating new naja designs and I love it when one resonates with someone.

Red Ember Forge Jewelry

My garage work bench for soldering; the bench itself is made from sections of an old high school gym floor.
My antique post vice, bolted to a tree stump, that I use for fold-forming.

I've always loved hitting things with a hammer....

I have worked in silver, for my own enjoyment, on and off since the first class I took on the subject in 1991. I love making forged (hammered) silver pieces and strive to make affordable, rugged, unisex, everyday jewelry. I do not make cast jewelry; everything is made one at a time. My shop is located in my garage and my basement and I enjoy using a variety of antique hammers (with various surface imperfections that leave interesting textures and patterns on the pieces) as well as a variety of anvils including pieces of railroad rail and railroad train wheel bearings as surfaces to hammer on. My trusty antique post vice assists with fold-forming. I enjoy making jewelry with integrated bails where the bail is part of the design; not an afterthought. Currently, every pendant I make comes with a bead chain because I like the un-fussy, unisex quality they have.

NOTE ON SHIPPING:
While I disabled overseas shipping in the choices for each individual item, I'm glad to ship overseas; just contact me through the Etsy messaging system so I can give you an overseas shipping cost which varies by location and can't be free/already included in the price like U.S. shipping. Thank you.
