I am just getting into Jewelry making after an eighteen year hiatus...but even than all i was making was simple pewter broaches pendants and pins from wax designs we were making with sculpting wax than casting in the driveway....the past couple years have been research(many hundreds of pages of books read...and lots of online reading)and slowly picking up more tools. i am currenty just making simple rings and bracelets, a few pendants. all in copper and brass as it has just struck my fancy recently...soon to move on to silver i think, as my benefactor(wife) has some things she would like made. will have more to say later as i learn more.
