What Is Sprinkled Silver?

By 21 Comments

My signature design process (copyrighted finally!) is called Sprinkled Silver.

Which means what exactly?  I KNOW this is what you are thinking! Sprinkled Silver is my name for the process of fusing sterling or fine silver into copper.

How and Why did I create this process?

The basic answer is… because it was fun!  I have been playing around with copper and silver since I began my journey into metals. Those of you who have read my book, Inside the Mind of a Jewelry Designer already know how I got into this ‘mess’ to begin with.  I was attracted to the metals process and once I took my first class, I was hooked! there is no looking back.  FSprinkled Silver Cuff bracelet 1ast forward 10 years to 2016 .. this passion grows and gets even stronger.3 Sprinkled amethyst pearl VIG
This is why I am so proud of these designs. They really speak to what I love about designing.. Each time I create another ‘Sprinkled Silver’ design, the passion grows.  This short video gives you a peek into the process.

Those of you who share this passion for your chosen field know the feeling already. The fire just grows and grows… and along the way is the fun of creating from our souls.

    Congrats on the copyright! That’s a big deal! I’m so excited for you. And it looks terrific. I’d love to hear the story sometime of how you got the process copyrighted. I’m a nerd like that. LOL I love the behind the scenes stories.

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!!

Alene has a gift for creating the perfect, unique piece of jewelry. Her ability to combine copper and sterling creates pieces of jewelry that are second to none. Alene then adds pops of color to create a piece that will call your name. Always eagerly await her new designs to see what new amazing piece will call my name.
