It was a challenging year for me. My jewelry business did not receive nearly the attention I wanted to give it thanks to other parts of life. But, new year, new focus. In spite of sky-high silver prices, I have ideas! I have new work planned!10 Jan 2026 18:03 +0000at://did:plc:jfko4mkhtky45m3zirantud2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc3lv3dnak2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/redemberforge.bsky.social/post/3lzrmoxgyms2hDoes this qualify as an "unadvertised sales event"?

Smaller protective sterling silver najas! The thicker double crescent on the left is around 1" square: small but substantial. The one on the right is more delicate: a combined naja and dragonfly.

Too cold to solder in the garage, and life has been occupying every second with other things demanding attention. My 15 in-progress pieces are waiting and I can't wait to get to them in a few more weeks. Until then...14 Feb 2025 07:34 +0000at://did:plc:jfko4mkhtky45m3zirantud2/app.bsky.feed.post/3li4ouxspcs2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/redemberforge.bsky.social/post/3lgqmpypqys2cNot the most complex or "showy" pieces I make, but I just love them. They can be worn by anyone, with anything. My "take the backroads" cuffs. I texture each one with my favorite hammer, shape it to size with a nylon mallet, stamp lettering inside and oxidize to accentuate details.

Gah! Of course I meant 2025! Thanks for alerting me to that. I really did proofread that before posting…apparently not enough!

Thank you! There has been a stretch of cold weather lately. Below zero. Soldering in an unheated garage is out, but it's supposed to be in the 40's this weekend! Up next?

A year to make your mark! I’ll start by marking all of my one-of-a-kind jewelry with my own distinctive hallmark stamp.
