I am a fairly new jewelry designer. I am still progressing from stringing and simple wire-working into chain maille and more advanced wireworking. In the last year I have decided to step up my learning and really try to make a successful small business out of my pleasure. I use primarily sterling silver and semi-precious stones, however if something else strikes my fancy I will try that as well. I love making jewelry it is stress-relieving for me (most of the time) and over the last year it has been becoming more of a small business than a hobby. I am excited to learn from all of the experienced jewelry makers on this forum. I have gained so much wisdom just in the last few months since I discovered the online forums. What a wealth of information!; http://rose3jewelry.com
