In some of the past threads, I noticed that there were a lot of you gals who dibber dobbered in jewelry making too.
I have worked in jewelry for quite a number of years.
Thought I would post a ring I just finished for a lady...she supplied her own stones.

I hope these don't turn out too big...if so I will try again.:lol:
Anyway, I would love to see some of your work.  Please post.  I can't see enough jewelry photos. :lol::lol:

I use to make jewelry in high school, anything from sterling silver to fimo clay beads.... I love any kind of art that is 3-D.... Purty ring!

Heather, it can be an expensive hobby, it just depends on how involved you want to get into it.  I have been collecting equipment for quite a few years...sell some jewelry, buy more stuff !  You know, just like bears!!:lol:

Jane, we are a bunch of clever gurls!!  I am trying to pull some of the talents out here, hoping to 'inspire' others to share their interests.

Kim, what have you made lately....anything? Show us, show us!!  Fimo clay and the likes, has come along way in the jewelry field.  There is some gorgeous things made using polymer clays.

Lisa, those little darlings must be protected from everything, you are so right.  Wire wrapping sounds like so much fun and I can see where one could get hooked on it very easily and very fast.  The last jewelry show I went to have some fantastic pieces that it was hard to even detect they were wire wrapped.  They were truly exceptional.

I dont know what happened to my fimo clay beads from high school... that is actually a good question... hmmm...  Recently, I have made fimo noses for my bears... it is funny how things are connected.  Who knew that in high school my hobby would turn into bear making!  LOL  I will send more pics when I get a better camera... i promise!

Wow,  Nancy the ring is beautiful and what a very clever Lady you are making such a beautiful piece
of jewellery.
I really enjoy watching Antiques roadshow as often there are some gorgeous antique jewellery
that would be great to own and wear.
Keep up the brilliant work!
