Handmade Store: swaysilver

I love the process of creating jewellery! Designing a piece that has sentimental value, connecting with people while helping someone to pinpoint her personal style and making jewellery that will be loved and worn for years to come is very satisfying. Jewellery can be a sparkling addition to an outfit, a statement of your personality or a cherished memory of a special relationship. I hope you'll find that perfect piece for you in my shop.

My interest in working with metal developed while studying Fine Art at Guelph University. While etching copper plates with nitric acid was fun printing editions was tedious! I loved the process of creating in metal and was easily able to transfer my skills to silver using the same etching techniques I had learned at school. I've recently begun to create with metal clay which makes my jewellery making non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Each piece whether using traditional means or pmc is made by hand; pierced, sanded, textured, formed and polished with care.
