A Gift for Jessica
This pendant is for a close friend. I cut a circle in sheet metal and soldered the bezel and jump ring on before setting the stone.
Row
This is another structured ring. After I built it, I filled the four dips with enamel and gave it a scratched texture.

Erosion
This pendant was built from forged copper. Sheets of aluminum were formed around the copper and riveted in place.

Get to the Point Already
This piece was built from sheet metal that i cut, shaped, and soldered together. The color of the metal was caused by putting a flame to it when it was covered with flux.
Process of Aging II
Across this bracelet are the silhouettes of turtles as they go through major stages of growth. Starting from the right of the turtle's face is an egg, then a fetus, and finally, a grown turtle. My wish is that the way you perceive these turtles is positive. They are beautiful in every stage of their lives.
One Big Rock
This large piece of quarts was bound to its base with wire. The base was riveted to a shank with crystal shapes cut into it. Its pretty simple, but very flashy.
Around and Around

This wire-wrapped ring has been exposed to a flame to darken its color. A thicker gauged wire wraps around the finger partially and the thinner wire works to keep the rings structure and add texture.
