I made the earrings in the picture for my older daughter for this Christmas. She and I had discussed the design back in September so she knew she was getting them, but she was still surprised. They are copper/nickel silver mokume that I patterned and forged down, and sterling rings and ear wires.
I had talked about making a set for my younger daughter, but she never got excited about mokume. Then she saw her sister's earrings and things changed. I'll be making a pair for her in the near future. Now if I could get her to be my jewelry model. . .
I've made several pendants from mokume, damascus, and Timascus, all for sale. Crosses have been the most popular. I like making things like this now and then as a break from knives and pens.
