.925 modern silver linkage — Medieval Amber, Modern amber rounds & .999 fine Silver Granulation.

Linking is very basic for anything constructed of wire, and you’d be well-advised to master this skill by making many, many links in copper before trying your skill on silver and gold. How you link is, first cut a convenient and easy to handle length of .22 gauge wire, about ten to twelve inches long.

With your flush-cutter, clip off the very end of the wire with the flush side toward the larger piece. Cut off as LITTLE as possible — every bit of weight counts, both with precious gemstones and precious metals.

Using your needlenose pliers, place the tips about 2 inches from one end of the wire, and gently coax the wire into a bend back onto itself, and then deftly turn the wire and wind it around itself, as shown in the illustration below:

Loop the wire back upon itself and wrap the wire closely together side-by-side to make it look right.

ZOOMSHOP – Upcycled Silver

Upcycled Sterling Silver Medieval Glass Broadcollar

There is no such thing as “scrap”. That’s my opening gambit for how to make a small independent jewelry company pay off well enough to keep you off the welfare rolls for as long as you can produce fine jewelry at a moment’s notice, and with my Method, you’ll be able to turn out splendid product for as long as you can still move your fingers.

“Scrap” is a headspace, a concept of waste mismanagement that can’t survive for very long in a jewelry studio, simply because it’s just too doggone expensive. You need to learn how to conserve energy in the form of effort, but also in the form of gold, silver, copper and gemstones. Continue reading →

ZOOMSHOP – Your Own Goldmine

Prosperity MIne 2014 — Prosperity Mine 2014 — Paydirt area on the smaller stream.

First of all, you have to have a gold mine somewhere. This is a photo of the Prosperity Mining Claim in Nevada County, California. Note that it’s a nondescript general photo of the small stream on the property. There are no identifiable reference points in the photo — that’s because I don’t intend to give away the location of the mine, because I don’t want swarms of city folks blasting away at the bedrock out of sheer greed.

If you’re taking minerals out, notably gold, lead, silver and iron pyrites, along with several of the heavier gemstones such as garnet, which is used to make carborundum polishing compounds, you have two basic choices, once you’ve located an outcropping or gold ledge — go with heavy equipment and blasting powder, or take a little at a time.

Here’s the thing — gold mining by itself never pays more than survival and a tiny bit extra for sex, booze and camp supplies.

Oh, yes, when you mine full-time, you live there, either in a tent or an expensive home built right on the claim site. Of course, if you give up the claim, you lose the house, unless the claim is patented, and that’s a whole ball of wax right there. I’ll explain: Continue reading →

To begin with, an unorganized and messy studio will have a powerful impact on your ability to produce items for the marketplace. If you don’t care what you make or how it turns out or whether it ever gets actually worn, you have no problem working in a junkpile, but if you want to know what resources you have, and you want those resources to be findable, you’ll have to make some decisions about how your workbench will be arranged and what places on the workbench will do what jobs.

ZOOMSHOP – Healing Rings of Power

Gemstones of all kinds are associated with Power Healing, and Rings of Power have been made ever since the Dawn of Time. I make my Healing Rings of Power by mounting a gem-grade drilled stone in a mounting that I have made for well over 7,000 years in this time-space discontinuum. In short, it’s my favorite model of finger-ring, and I make them in absolutely ALL sizes from Size 1 to Size 16, and I’ve made a few even smaller than 1.0 but they’re not measurable by any ring-sizer known.

Relic Rings on my workbench ready for market.

Reincarnation Relic Rings — that’s what I’m doing tonight, all night long, custom rings made to your specifications, by date, by location or by occult powers of stones.

Even ancient glass has profound occult effects, and some glass is over 1200 years old, dating to the earliest known manufacture of glass, which is more or less melted sand, but with various elements added to the mix to make a variety of types of glass, everything from dark green all the way to brilliant opalescent clarity.

I have made many Relic Rings, but never had the packaging that could let them sell without me being right there to custom-explain the thing, and that goes double for online sales.

With the New Improved Packaging System, we get several things.

Sealed for security integrity of item.
Guaranteed to be what it says or your money back, period.
Guaranteed authenticity & that it came from my collection.
Age of item is given clearly, as in: “2,000 yrs old”, or “433 B.C.”.
Place of origin is given, if known, or general area, if known.
Sealed archival environment protects the item until opened.
Size of ring is given on the outside of package.
Sealed packaging means your ring is clean when you receive it.
Type of metal is indicated. “.925” means 92.5 % pure silver.
The heavy sterling silver high-conductance ring shank acts as an Induction Ring.
Your ring is absolutely unique. There is no other ring on Earth exactly like it.

So from whence came all these relics and ancient objects? Continue reading →
