Hello, Orchadians, I am, for the lack of a better term, an 'art' jeweler and a metalsmith. I mainly do custom designs for individual clients based on their criteria and my interpretation of their wants. I work in silver, fine silver, 14k gold, with colored stones (and a few diamonds here and there), glass, found objects and, most recently, pmc and enameling. I also create mobiles in copper. I live in the city of San Francisco which provides a lot of inspiration and unique opportunities to study with some amazing artists/jewelers. There is also a thriving gallery and patron community here. I really enjoy gleaning knowlege from the vast resources of information that you extraordinarily talented souls share on this forum. Thanks for being so generous! Nan Kroupa; -
