Custom Herkimer Diamond Ring

 a lovely customer saw my first "Herkimer Diamond Ring", which sold to my lovely local customer and wanted to order. this stone was larger and more irregular, it was really tricky to set. but in the end, I think it came out really  gorgeous!

clorless and has golden inclusion.

Happy Crafting!

~What’s the most romantic piece you’ve ever made and why?




Wow, this is tough one! I made so many pieces and I try to put little romance in every piece. But as I was thinking about this topic I remember the one custom piece I made a while back. A customer requested earrings inspired from this cute quote: 'A Bird and A Fish Can Fall in Love, But Where Will They Live?' isn’t this a cutest?! And she wanted bird and fish to be like but you can tell the differences of bird and fish and in different colors. I was delighted to design & made this piece!

And most recently, I made this cherry blossom ring that I think it’s so darn romantic! The ring is on sale on Handmade Division team shop. And I’m working on necklace & bracelets next!



Now, let’s go see more romantic pieces the other team mates made!

Romantic Pink Enamel Sakura Ring

Every time I think about spring (and I think about it in icy winter weather like now…) I think about cherry blossoms in Japan. You can enjoy gorgeous blossoms all over the town, parks, everywhere! And the fact that they will only last about 10 days, add the beauty to the whole seen.

I created this ring thinking about beautiful Japanese cherry blossom. As usual, my main focus in the enamel piece but I think I did good with the metals too! I made ring with sterling silver made to look like branch and solder little copper leaf on the one end. Looks very delicate, feminine and organic. And it’s listed on new Handmade Division team shop!

Happy Crafting:)

Jewel Tone Poppies

I had a lovely custom order to make poppies in all different colors around the bangle. I immediately thought about jewel-tone. as they call it enamels "seven gems" in Japanese, enamel colors are perfect for imitating the gemstone colors. but to developing the all different colors was more challenging than I thought. it took me so long and my customer was patiently waiting... but here it is at last! I love love love it! so my spring would be full of "Jewel Tone Poppies"!!

here is one ring I already made & list in my shop. blue topaz poppy and the pod sterling silver ring.

and this one with smoky quartz with brass ribbon (another something new I'm working on!)
I'm so excited about this new collection! happy crafting:)

I am taking a part of “ring a day” challenge! Make a ring each day & post in flickr group page. And you have to checkout this page! This page is so great!! Load of fabulous rings after rings… so much creativity, so great inspirations! As for me, more than likely I’m not going to be able to make a ring every single day. But at least I’m going to thinking about it! I’ll post in my flickr page & my facebook page what I made. And while not every piece is going to be in my shop, you can expect lots of new ring designs are coming into my shop!

Here are first two…

Organic poppy ring

Yesterday, I made heart ring with enamel on it! It’s still a experiment but I’ll sure to post pictures!!
