Intro to Jewellery with Greg Sims NSCAD January-April 2009

 

Some of the first jewelery pieces that I made included a bird out of copper, hammered for texture with a chain that I hand made riveted to the back to make a brooch.

  Also the little nest brooch made from silver with patina and then wrapped with red copper wire strands. It measures approx 1.5" in circumference.

 This ring is based on a film reel and wraps around the fingers. It is made out of silver and has liver of sulfur patina. I hand sawed out all the little holes, that took some patience and practice!

 

The final project I made a mini camera locket. It was very challenging but it turned out pretty good for a beginner. I had to solder a box, make a door with a hinge and lock, form some plexiglass and fit it into the front lense part and add a ribbon to hang. The little knob at the top is riveted so it spins. It is all made out of silver.
