All my jewelry is fabricated in stainless steel.My curious jeweler friends inevitably ask me "why on earth would you want to work in such an intractable medium"? My answer is invariabbly "because I can"...Stainless steel is generally hypo-allergenic,exceedingly durable, and provides interesting surface decoration possibilities.
Spiral Torque (neckring) Spent all day forging this torque.Definitely the most difficult one thus far.I've been visualizing this piece for many years so it's somewhat gratifying to finally pull it off...It's stiff but flexible enough to be able to get it on and off easily but also to shape the final fit by hand for whomever ends up with it.Notice the camber which allows the piece to sit down nicely on the neck and trapezius.The central loop fits nicely in the small depression between my collar bones...
