Silver Nugget Jewelry

More silver rock formations made from broom castings. Broom casting is a great way to recycle silver scrap. 

I love playing with the castings.  I mix and match pieces intuitively, thinking of them as pieces of a rocky landscape. They are all burnished to a satiny sheen, to bring up the silvery shine without losing their rugged quality.





This is my favorite.  It reminds me of the moon hanging over rocky cliffs, and also has a figurative quality to it.

Some of the best pieces create themselves, through simple intuitive arranging.

Really pretty. My favorite casting was dropping molten silver into water. I loved the bowl shapes that are made :-)
