Some recent work- handmade brass and willow oak bezel rollers. I make these for sale ($29 each, shipped to US addresses). Octagonal handles, allows closer placement of your fingers. Larger working face, and since brass is softer than steel, it’s less likely to slip and scratch bezels

A prototype for a commission… Colombian emeralds, silver plate, fine silver tube settings

Jewelry by BG- on a trip to Lisbon last year, I noticed a popular design motif . Groups of ceramic swallows are added to buildings as a decoration, so when I got home I designed this necklace. Sawn silver plate with 5mm blue topaz
