The Handmade Lily Pads Necklace

Lily pads necklace inspired by Claude Monet. 

    Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted from 
 beginning to finished product, all from scratch. 

•      The process starts with raw metal, brass,
   sterling silver, copper, nickel silver and hand sawn 
  dies. The dies are used in a hand press to cut
  the metal shapes.  After the pieces are cut they are 
  shaped and formed with planishing and forming 
  hammers on the surface of a tree stump that has
   acquired useful indentations over time and use. 
  The next step is soldering with an acetylene torch, 
  tumbling to smooth the surface and finally finishing
  with satin buffs. 

    John, who is a college trained,
 and Linda each have 60 years of 
experience and  perform these amazing 
achievements every day in their studio 
in Sarasota, Florida.
