I am planning a series of jewelry trees depicting each season of the year: My first tree is a summer tree bearing fruit....and it is the fruit of the knowledge I've gained so far in silversmithing. I love learning and I hope I get to spend the rest of my life learning, researching and discovering.
The tree is silver, made from precious metal clay and bezeled tourmaline cabs. The trunk is a natural tourmaline crystal (I unfortunately broke it in two places as I set it grrr). It is strung with faceted tourmalines.
That necklace is beautiful! It makes me want to get into beading and smithing.
