My Artisan Hand Tools for Jewelry Making

Handmade Ear Wires - Hammered Signature Kite II



One thing I take pride in is the fact that I alone, from start to finish, create all my own metalwork jewelry and supply findings.  Except for closed jump rings as I no longer make those (I get them from my bulk metal supplier).  Other than that it's all me.

From designing to creating, packaging and shipping, communicating with my customers, and all the other aspects of operating a business, it keeps me quite busy.  Some people have asked me if I would ever consider hiring others to help me or even join in on the "handmade manufactured" club so that I can get things out quicker, etc.  Honestly, no and no.  Sure, it would lessen my time frame for starters, but it's simply not for me - ever.  I'm a one gal show who enjoys what I do very much.

A few of my hand tools for jewelry making

Anyway, I use a variety of hand tools to create with.  Some are the typical tools such as cutters, hammers, a variety of pliers, etc.  And then there are some unconventional ones, which I'll save for my next post.

So this is just a little peak in my studio for now, but I plan on posting more studio happenings so you can see what I do for a living.  Please know that I'm trying to keep up with blogging and other social networking, but on top of running my business, my home, life, etc., spare time gets kind of thin.  I'm also a birder and on most weekends I'm out in nature with my hubby.  Speaking of, if you love birds and/or nature I post our adventures on Instagram.

Peace,

14k Gold Filled Nose Ring

Nose Ring in 14k Gold Filled

I'm slowly but surely adding more of my new items that are on my bench into my shop - like these gorgeous 14k Gold Filled Nose Rings!

These endless hoops can also be worn as a lobe earring or cartilage piercing of choice.  I handcraft them in a variety of sizes, with more yet to come.



Endless Hoop Nose Ring

Currently I'm creating these handmade to order continuous hoops in 18g and 20g 14k Gold Filled wire.  The 20g can be made in yellow or rose gold filled, but right now only in yellow for 18g.  I'll soon be listing them in other metals as well, but as always if you have a request, please feel free to contact me via my online shop at Rocki's Artisan Metal.

If you like the ball end version, I do make those in Fine Silver and Copper, plus Sterling Silver which are waiting to be photographed, and soon another metal.

I'm very excited to start listing my other pieces, but there's only so much time in a day. I'll post when that happens.

Peace,

NEW: 14k Rose Gold Filled Wire!

14k Rose Gold Filled Wire

By the request of a dear customer, I finally added this beautiful metal to my Etsy shop and I'm so happy I did!  14k Rose Gold Filled is absolutely stunning, but the pictures don't do it justice.

I'll slowly be creating most, if not all, of my designs in this gorgeous metal and adding them to my shop.  Due to my workload and everything else involved with running my business, etc., this may take some time.  So in the meantime here's what I'm doing... 

Wee French Handmade Ear Wires - Choice of  14k Yellow or Rose Gold Filled

In my 14k Gold Filled listings, I'm adding the option to choose either Yellow or Rose Gold Filled, as in the listing above of my Wee French.  However, in the meantime if there are other ear wires that you like and want in Rose Gold, just let me know.

Can hardly wait to start creating with this beautiful metal!

Have a rose filled day!

Peace,
Rocki
