To make these pendants, stones were tumbled for a week, polished to a satin finish, holes were drilled through the stone, underwater, with a diamond-encrusted drill bit, I hammered the silver bails into shape by hand, I cut tube rivets to size for each, heated the rivets, and set the rivets.

I'll be adding pieces to my website after this weekend's sale.

Thank you! I love retro shapes and the vague look of old signs as well as using the steel to add a bit of color.

3/3 - Smaller but unique and creative. More salvaged auto body steel pieces. A new limited slabbed gemstone collection (Sonoran Sunrise, anyone?), and new pieces rooted in road trips, mid-century design nostalgia, and personal amulets. It's going to be a productive and creative year.

2/3 - Like this new gray Fordite pendant I finished in late 2025 and will be adding to my website this weekend. I have my year of in-person shows planned out (assuming I'm accepted to them) and am ready to get to work. This year will have to, by necessity of silver prices, feature smaller pieces.

My forged silver motel pendants are some of my favorites to make.

I agree - it's rough out there. Silver prices are insane (prices for many things are insane). It's hard to set aside the world and get into a good creative place. Trying!

#bsnm just finding out about this #

I had no idea either.

Thanks for answering! I'm glad it's not only me who has noticed a drop-off in engagement this summer. I thought it was because I took a bit of a break (life got in the way), but I'm back at it now!

Any ideas @squeevening.bsky.social ?
