I got mine from Manchester Minerals and I haven't had a problem with the pins in the mixed shot. I got my tumbler from somewhere else, but they were really helpful with advice on all the essential...

I'm going to try my hand at...

Wow - looks really lifelike :)

What thickness is the silver? I'm experimenting with some ground-down mini screwdrivers and rounded off nails (no spare cash for real tools!) but don't know if the...

Really beautiful. I love the green reflecting off the silver. Would also look good done as a matching pair of earrings!

My special one-off pieces have original stories or poems that go with them; like the story of the moon-princess or the poem that goes with the blue rose pendant:

Could you make the hinge part of the lid & top by curling the edge of the lid/top into a tube and then cutting away sections to make the hinge? I think I would add extra length to the two parts of...

I make fairytale and sparkly jewellery in (mostly) sterling silver. I also use gold, PMC, fine silver - as well as recycled materials.
