I can't make jewelry, I seriously envy those who can. Maybe it is a good thing that I can't because I would make hideous OTT grotesque bling things that everyone would laugh at.

Your bracelets are very tasteful! I love the turquoise ones!

Wow! That's impressive. My British grandfather and grandmother were silversmiths, and made jewelry (and other silver/gold items). Gran's main job was to set the precious stones, and to string and knot the pearls.

I sometimes do some rather unimpressive beading,

I would love to make some really basic jewelry. I really would want to know how to tie a knot that does not opens and what kind of glue will help fix leather cord to metal clasps....I am THAT basic....lol!!!

I dont know how impressive I will be, but we"ll see! i've always loved designing my own pieces...I just dont have the skills to carry them out myself, so after watching the goldsmiths in my office do custom work I have decided to learn myself. It will be more of a hobby for now and hopefully I can make myself but nice jewellery in return for an apprenticeship, I will be helping my friend the goldsmith with designs for his store.

When I get home I will post some of the jewelry I have made through the years.. I used alot of swarvoski crystals in the past to make my jewelry.

How do you become one? I've always wanted to make my own gold jewelry...I live in Ottawa and would be interested in taking lessons..but I don't even know where to look???
