Love your work. We had a lady come into our shop yesterday to buy sterling beads to go with her spoon jewelry and I just fell in love with the idea of making jewelry out of household items.

And I don't know how to shape the stone, So please, please can you tell me how to do it? (Sorry for my english is bad)

Love your work, checked out the etsy too. Very very nice. Love the spoon work. I tried that, but maybe I don't anneal them enough? So I'm over utensils. I enjoy seeing what you do with them. I am a silversmith as well and just enjoy seeing what other smith artists do/techniques. I

a lot of the silverware companies are tricky about their markings, purposefully trying to make silverplate look like solid sterling. 95% of the time, if it doesn't actually say "sterling" or "925" on it, then it's not.
