New Work

There is new work for your viewing pleasure at www.wilkdesigns.com. In the future, every time I post new work on my website I'll also post it here with a little blurb about each piece. Usually these blurbs will contain information about the process of making the piece or the materials used. Anyways, on with the pictures!






Sterling Silver and a Pearl Pendant. This piece is made by soldering together two hemispheres at angles to each other and stringing a pearl onto a sterling wire, feeding the wire up through a hole in the top of the hemispheres.













Sterling Silver and Pearls Earrings. Made by the same process as Sterling Silver and a Pearl pendant.















Double Hemisphere Ring. Sterling Silver. This ring has two hemispheres, one inverted into the other and soldered.











Double Hemisphere Ring with Keum-Boo. Keum-Boo is an ancient Asian technique of applying 24k gold sheet to silver without the use of any adhesives, unlike gold leafing. Keum-Boo is also more durable as the gold leaf or sheet used for Keum-Boo is thicker than traditional gold leaf.





So those are the latest pieces to come from my bench. These pieces will be making their first appearance on the market at Made You Look(as per my last post) and other shops and galleries in the near future.
