Two Pendants

Just wanted to post up a couple of pendants that I made a little while back but never got around to posting. Both stones in the pieces are Sacred Seven Quartz which I mentioned in a previous post. Here they are:







An interesting cut with inclusions unlike any I have seen so far in this type of stone















A large stone(around 45-50 carats) with a fantastic amount of amethyst.

Pendant and Watch

So I' finally starting to get back to my blog(3 posts in one day!) and I wanted to finally post the pic of the watch I made and also a new pendant that was a commission piece. So here they are:








Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant

















Sterling Silver Watch, 10k Gold Dial with Diamond









Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics, sorry the watch pic is not the best, my light was fading quick but I really wanted to post it. Anyways, hope to see you at the upcoming shows!

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.
