Welcome
New England Jewel Crafts offers unique beaded and fine silver jewelry designs. Each piece is inspired by the changing seasons of New England, the colors in nature and the beauty of the ocean.
Artistic Medium
Fine silver is primarily used for all feature pendants and rings, using traditional low tech metal and wire working techniques. Many jewelry designs feature hand-formed pure silver components, using metal clay. Silver "metal clay” once fired, is fine silver (.999) – not an alloy such as sterling silver (92.5% fine silver/7.5% copper). The gold clay is pure 24K gold after firing. Completed pieces can be polished to a bright metal finish or given a patina finish to highlight details.
