No obligation · payment in protected instalments via Lujoro

I am a jewelry artist and instructor specializing in an ancient technique using 22-karat gold and fine silver. I am drawn to the beauty of creating jewelry by hand, using methods that connect us to thousands of years of goldsmithing tradition.

Workshops

Create your own jewelry using ancient goldsmithing techniques in 22-karat gold and fine silver. My hands-on workshops are designed for beginners as well as those with jewelry-making experience. You will be guided through the process step by step and leave with a piece you have created yourself. Workshops are private, one-on-one experiences, allowing for individual attention. Prices start at $150 for a three-hour workshop, not including materials. To arrange a private workshop, contact me directly through Lujoro or visit Hampton Gem®.

Handmade gold ring in the making

A slim yellow gold ring rests on the soldering block, held in place with tweezers. The work takes place at the bench, with the third hand and soldering clamp close by. The ring still has a raw finish and awaits further polishing.

Wide braided wire gold ring with emerald

A wide band built up from several rows of braided and twisted gold wire, creating a lively rope-like pattern. At the centre a round green emerald sits in a smooth bezel, held between the diverging strands of wire. The gold has a soft, slightly matte finish that emphasises the braiding.

Gold drop earrings with emerald

Long yellow gold drop earrings with a round emerald in a smooth bezel setting. Below the stone, a small link carries a spherical gold bead finished with fine rings and a tiny ball at the base. The ear wires are hand-bent; the surfaces are partly matte, partly polished.

Gold ring with square amethyst

A wide yellow gold ring set with a square, faceted amethyst in a clean bezel setting. Beneath the setting runs a twisted gold wire border that continues over the shoulders of the band. The band itself is smooth and flat, giving a quiet contrast to the wirework.
