My favorite material to work with

Silver. Precious metal clay. Findings. Gemstones. Czech glass beads.

What is my favorite material to work with?

Well, it changes. But right now it's sterling silver.

Why?


Well, everyone can wear sterling silver. It flatters all skin tones.


Unlike gold, which tends to be choosy, sterling silver goes with anything. My favorite color right now to pair with my favorite material is December's birthstone, tanzanite, a purpley-blue.


And when it comes to making jewelry, sterling silver is versatile. It can frame gemstones in a pair of earrings, or be hammered into a shape and be the centerpiece of a necklace. 

Simply put, sterling silver can be a member of the choir or the guest soloist.
