Engraved Silver Pendant
Engraving is a nice way to personalize a piece of jewelry. This is quite often done especially with silver jewelry. I own quite a few pieces of silver jewelry that I have paid for the engraving service. I hope Kevin appreciates that extra expenses I paid to have his birthday gift personally engraved. I hope to be able to master engraving so I can personalize the silver jewelry that I craft. So...

Chunky Silver Ring Guidelines
The upcoming project going to be a tough one. We are to design and craft a silver ring. I want to make something I like as well as enjoy wearing. It has to be really simple and suit my taste. This nice and chunky silver ring is one I will consider. It has a round centre to fit a finger and extend to a squarish shape but without sharp angles.

A Sterling Silver Turtle Pendant in Mind
I’m a little surprised that looking at these sterling silver turtle pendant designs stirred me up a little. The most important factor must be the fact that I kept terrapins as pets when I was little.

Weighty Woven Wheat Link Silver Bracelet

Handsome woven wheat chain is generously sized for a rich, weighty look.” The woven look is very appealing to me. First off, $400 is an insane price to me. Silver jewelry is supposed to be...

I have thought hard about it and scoured the internet for inspiration. And my effort has not come to naught as I found this web page with some very simple pendant designs. The one I am going to craft quite similarly to is the one that...

A Sterling Silver Manta Ray Pendant Entry
Got to take note of this sterling silver manta ray pendant webpage. One reason I have for starting this blog is to record nice silver jewelry and jewelry websites that I come across. I used to bookmark these websites but Pam suggested keeping a journal about them instead. She showed me hers and I kind of have an idea how she does it and why it is a better method. I’ll just give it a try and...
Need a New Bench
The current bench for smithing and crafting leaves much to be desired. One solution is to custom-make one to complement the existing oversized bench. Mr. Loke recommended this simple portable jeweler’s bench blue print. Let’s see if Brad can help me modify my old desk to something like that.

Here goes my blog
Pam recommended this website. I am totally new to blogging. And that’s the reason Pam asked me to check out this site as she says it is the easiest way for a beginner to start blogging . This should be fun and more importantly I would like this new activity to be useful. I have enrolled in a silversmithing course and I want to keep a journal about it as well as my love for silver jewelry. I...
