Member News
The club jewelry classes have been full and members produced a variety of jewelry pieces. Show here by artist.
Rob Ferraud has been busy with pendants and rings. Our last class was a simple folded copper pendant where he used a swirly Vernon Wonder Stone cab. Picture of a ring he made for her will post as soon as I can find it.
Theron Roberts used an exceptional cab from a slab purchased in Quartzsite to do his copper pendant. We finished late an I forgot to get a picture. I’ll bet he took one and would share with you.
James Warner has been busy with a new outlet for his energy Note the silver ring, two copper pendants and a copper and silver bracelet with a beautiful Varacite Cab made from his finds on the SNGMS/SURC group trip to Tonopah’s Broken Arrow Mine.
