Beautiful work! How did you learn metalsmithing and jewelry design? Are you self-taught?

@Moonbeam thank you so much🤗 I took jewelry and metal shop in high school and my work was so terrible and shoddy I’m not a great artist still. It wasn’t until my senior year when I got a job as a polisher and ring-sizer at a jewelry mfg. Co. That I learned the proper techniques and formulas for fabrication or repair that I made any progress. There is a considerable amount of metallurgy and chemistry you had to learn too…it took many hours of experimentation and studying text yes in that way I am self taught yes. I had a great teacher and his Metalsmithing friends to look up to in my 2 years at a community college too before I dropped out when I became Ill too.
