Sonnie Waldrop
Alpharetta, GA. USA

In my previous life I was a technical consulant for a large software
company. In my current life I guess I am a ‘jewelry artist’. My
favorite medium is metals. The more I learn, the more I realize how
much more there is to learn. I have discovered that my techical
background is extremely useful. Silver is my current passion and my
studio is my happy place.

I think ganoksin has the most incredible credible I have
ever seen.

I am a very inexperienced bench jeweler and designer. I have made a
few pieces for friends and family. So, I’ve decided to jump in and
start my business! At the moment I am putting together my small shop.
I am very thankful to have discovered this site because Im going to
need all of the help that I can get. I really look forward to
learning. Thank you. Stephanie
