Custom jewellery design is a special way to create a truly one of a kind piece to celebrate meaningful occasions in your life. In this age of disposable mediums and instant gratification it is nice to invest in a process which requires you to really think about what occasion you are commemorating and how to best express yourself.
One of the most interesting aspects of creating custom jewellery is working with clients visions. Sometimes clients help me to think outside of the box and look at things from a different perspective. This allows me to break out of my cycle and helps to expand my own creativity.
Design options are offered to help clients with their end results but unique suggestions are always appreciated. Being trained as a classical goldsmith give me lots of tools to work with in order to achieve clients visions.
I like to think of Soundwave Jewellery as a collaboration between me and the client. After all without your voice there would be no sound wave to work with!
The beauty in custom jewellery design is seeing all the ideas come to life. The best part is knowing you nailed and hearing the client say "Its perfect!".
Check out the collection when you are ready to create your custom piece of soundwave jewellery, of course your creative suggestions are always welcome!
This sterling silver Soundwave Bracelet is a real beauty.
The cuff bracelets take a lot of work to complete but when they are finished its really worth it. They truly are unique pieces of art.
This is a sterling silver bracelet is inset with palladium. Palladium is a grey metal and silver is a bright white metal. This gives a nice subtle contrast between the wave and the polished outside.
The pieces are all run through a magnetic tumbler. This is a different tumbler then the first tumbler used. The first tumbler hardens the metal after soldering or casting. This second tumble has smaller shot which can make its way into the small crevasses of the sound wave.
It brightens up the sound wave and adds a texture which makes the sound wave sparkle like snow on a sunny winters days!
Continuing the process of creating this cuff bracelet. Once the piece is cut from the silver sheet it is then filed on all side to even out the saw marks. The two short sides are filed at 90 degree angles parallel to each other. The piece is then heated to make sure the metal is soft enough to bend. This process is called annealing. It is then bent into a "D" like shape. The two short ends that were filed perfectly straight need to meet each other. If they do not meet exactly your solder seem will be weak. This might cause the piece to split open during the rounding phase. When making jewellery it is important that each stage is done correctly and with precision and care. If not then the job will become more difficult in the later stages. As in life it is important to set a good foundation to build off of. Only then can we expect to achieve the real essence of truth, beauty and excellence.
