A Peek into my Sprinkled Silver Jewelry process

December 3, 2018 By Alene Geed Leave a Comment

Want to see how I create some of my designs?

Early in my jewelry design career, I fell in love with copper and silver metals. copper and silver jewelry, Handmade in ArizonaOne of my first experiments involved fusing metal components together.. just to see what would happen.

OK, so I did destroy a few chunks of metal. Applying just a little TOO much heat whereas the metals became a lump of indescribable mass. A learning experience, right? In the end I am happy for what I learned and can live with a few lumps of metal, knowing it helped me perfect this design process.

Raw copper is textured and then heated. After this I add sterling and fine silver components to the copper. Applying heat, I melt the silver right into the copper. the fun part is i am never sure how it will turn out! the Heat is in charge.

I coined this process ‘sprinkled silver’ and even have it copyrighted. Here are a few of the designs from my collections.

These designs and more are available at shopalenesadornments.com.

I was introduced to Alene’s Adornments through a customer from work (grocery industry). I loved the unique pieces that Alene creates. I purchased a ring and received it gift wrapped and very quickly. The ring is one of my favorites and I receive nice comments when I wear it.

I still have the first pair of earrings I bought from Alene and wear them frequently.  I could  almost open my own store with all the cuffs, earrings, and necklaces I own of Alene’s.  I admire and respect her talent.  It has been  wonderful to watch her jewelry progress over almost 20 years.  What a pleasure  to wear her talent.  Always compliments!!
