Sumner Silverman
Vineyard Haven, MA. USA

I am a practicing psychologist working primarily with people in
creative pursuits. I have been making and selling jewelry for around
forty years now. I am best at carving and embossing. I carve fossil
ivory, amber, wood and wax. I also have worked out some interesting
techniques using thin sheet 24k gold.

For 5-6 years, I worked on a series of orchids in wax, fossil ivory,
24k gold sheet and amber. I have over 50 botanically accurate
species-specific orchid models.

I have been part of Metalwerx school of jewelry for many years and
am presently the chairman of the board.
