Tina Spergel
Naples, FL. USA
I have been making jewelry for about a year and a half. I have
pretty much stuck to wire wrapping. My hubby does the lapidary end.
He recently learned how to cut opals and that is sending me into
silversmithing. I took one class in silversmithing and really
enjoyed it - despite destroying a few bezels. I came home from this
class really inspired to go in this direction. I have been
accumulating all the tools for that end of jewelry making but have
not really done anything in the house. I would really like to take
another class before I set out on my own.

Leslie L Olson
Eden Prairie, MN. USA
I design statement necklaces using reworked jewelry, vintage crystal
brooches and other crystal jewelry, leather, and clay (mainly). I
love high fashion and am majoring in Fashion Journalism at the U of
M (minoring in French). I also do a lot of fashion illustration, but
my drawings are highly realistic, as I am classically trained in
portraiture.
I am excited to start forming a client base, build inventory, and
promote my jewelry as I continue to finish my college education. I’m
joining Orchid to build relationships, get experienced opinions, and
learn more about how the jewelry/entrepreneurship industry works!
