I have 15 years in the craft. I studied fine arts and I love my
work.

Myrna Petersen
Myrna Lee Petersen Designs
Sonora, CA. USA

I am living in the Mother Lode and enjoy hunting for both gold and
semi- precious stones. I belong to the Calaveras Gem and Mineral
Society and participate in their collecting field trips. I craft
original silver jewelery, some using the cabs I make from the stones
I collect. I have an interest in all things jewelry from exploring
new materials such as Bronze metal clay to collecting beads to
string into one of a kind necklaces. This interest goes back to
childhood when I collected pretty rocks I found near home. I never
met a tool I didn’t like and even took up welding for a while to
play with bigger torches.

Steve Pembleton
CheapJumpRings

I own a small business in a suburb of Milwaukee. I manufacture high
quality, affordable jump rings, typically out of silver and
gold-filled, but I do work in other metals. I accept custom orders
and ship world-wide.
