Want to design your own unique, one-of-a-kind, original pieces of jewellery and be proud to say you made them yourself?
Well, you have come to the right place.
Here’s a little info about making jewellery using metal.
"Have you ever wondered what metalsmithing is?”
Well, metalsmithing is the art of creating jewellery by manipulating different metals. It involves a variety of techniques, including hammering, sawing, forging, drilling, doming, texturing, soldering, and metal stamping. Each technique offers endless opportunities for creativity and personal expression in jewellery making.
