Cold Forge designs

The benefit of not having a soldering station set up is that you're forced to come up with new ways to connect pieces. So, I've spent the last 3 years exploring the world of cold connections in the form of wire wrapping and jump rings. In the coming months I'd like to add riveting to the list, but for now I stick with my handy pliers.




I've also been working on cold forging silver elements to incorporate into my designs, in the form of hammered frames, pendants, links, and handmade s-hooks or other clasps. I've also recently added stamped designs to my repertoire.
