Two of the jewelry classes I've recently taken focused on contemporary wire-work techniques and how to make hammered metal components. I loved both classes and have been working on several pieces that incorporate the new skills I've learned. Here are a couple of examples, now available at Alexandra Amaro, my etsy site.
Hammered silver 4-leaf clover components with black onyx briolettes and jet swarovski crystal accents.
Caged amethyst rondelles with handmade hill tribes silver bicones and iolite detail.
Hammered hand-formed silver swirls with teardrop freshwater pearls.Check back soon - I'm working on a mother of a necklace that uses several wire-work techniques. It has blue lace agate and pearls, and lots of silver coils and handmade chain links. Hopefully it will be finished before I leave California...
