Stop By the SoWa Holiday Market in Boston December 12th and 13th. I'll be there both days will all sorts of jewelry, including new pieces only available at the show. http://www.sowaholidaymarket.com

Wood you marry me?

Ok that was bad... but the rings are super cool! A custom set in palladium for some good friends who are getting married this weekend. Celebrate by buying stuff from their Etsy shop, NewDuds. The inlay is Vermont walnut, with a hefty furniture wax on it, and a Vermont Red Jasper stone mined from just down the road where I live, and not far from where he grew up.

Love is on the inside - 14kt/SS Band

Here's the first of a new style of pieces I'm doing with Rose Gold and Silver, I'm really excited about this one. Quoted from the Etsy listing;

"This is part of a new series of rings based on my own wedding band. A .5mm polished 14kt Rose Gold sleeve lines the inside of this brushed finish, slightly domed, Silver ring.

The Silver on the outside has a clean and modern look that will take on its own unique finish as it wears over time, while the inside remains true to the day it was first made, perfect for a meaningful engraving (contact me for engraving quotes, usually $25-35).

Each ring is handmade to order and takes about 3-4 weeks, please let me know the ring size when you order.

The ring pictured is 8mm wide by about 2mm thick, a very comfortable size. It can also be made in widths of 6mm, 5mm, 4mm, matching sets can be made as well."

Custom Projects

I have a bunch of Custom Projects in the works, the set below is a variation of my Igloo Stacking Set with a moonstone and custom cut White Quartz. There are few wedding bands I'm working on that I hope to have images of by the end of the weekend. Enjoy the pictures for now!

Clean again.

After a few long days of some serious cleaning it's time to get back to work. Truth be told, my shop space is very very small, less than 100 square feet. On top of that there is no ventilation, or was no ventilation. I set up a very nice air filtration system with a HEPA filter, I can already tell the difference in air quality, as I don't have to wear a mask just to be in there... the air can get thick with chemicals, fumes and dust really fast.

It's easy to overlook creating a healthy work environment when you're working by yourself or in a very small business, but it is critical. Here (Gnoksin) is a great in depth article that really concerns the safety of anyone working with precious metals. It's a long read, but very informative.

Here are a few pictures from SoWa, cause I know everyone loves pictures!

Spring cleaning... a little late.

4 months of a whirlwind mess have consumed my shop and office, I'm ashamed to even post pictures. Today is going to be a long long cleaning day, maybe I'll post pictures once it's all clean.

It's going faster thanks to Pandora's Bon Iver channel.

Where in the world is Jesse Danger?

Yikes, it's been about three months since I've put anything on here. A lot has gone down in three months though. I've done numerous shows at Boston's SoWa Open Market, which has been a fantastic experience in general. I'll be back down again in October on the 11th and 25th and in December for the SoWa Holiday Market. Vermont shows and experiences haven't been anywhere near as grand, perhaps my expectations for said events were too high.

Etsy has been fantastic as well, and a great big thanks to everyone who has supported me by purchasing my creations, or blogging about my work or just simply taking the time to look!

With all this hard work I've opted to step away from my day job. Something I've been trying to do for far too long, but finally the opportunity has presented itself. This is truly what I long to do, and just the start to many things to come. This means for now;

-new work
-faster shipping
-faster emails
-more craft/art shows
-more updates/blog entries
and all sorts of possibilities

Thanks and more to come!
