MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
My main materials are 18K yellow gold, 18K palladium white gold, and oxidized sterling silver. I also use all types of precious and semi precious gemstones, Tahitian and South Sea pearls, and Diamonds. My main techniques are CAD/casting and fabrication. For both casting and fabrication I start with fine grain, alloy it and pour ingots for stock. With CAD I design components on computer, 3d print them into castable resin, and cast the patterns into precious metal. I use many finishing and setting techniques. Including Pave’, flush, prong and bezel. As well as laser welding gemstones in place
