My jewelry is made using Canadian sourced sterling silver and 14k gold. Ethically sourced precious stones, semi-precious stones and hand mined/cut turquoise. I learned to make jewelry when silver was $4 dollars an ounce and gold was $400. I build them solid using heavy gauge so your jewelry lasts forever. You will see and feel the difference in all my jewelry.
The techniques I use throughout my work are traditional metal smithing, hand fabrication skills including sawing, forging, soldiering, fusing, keum boo, and sand casting. I also use a variety of stone settings such as gypsy/flush setting, tension set, claw setting and the classic bezel settings. I mostly work in sterling silver but occasionally I will mix metals and add some gold accents. colorful stones have always been used throughout my designs.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
