Etsy Featured Artist - Elements by Dawn

Dawn, who is a full-time student, wife, and mother of two boys, actually also finds time to fashion beautiful jewelry. She does incredible metalworking and chainmaille. She uses quality material, such as Argentium silver, which she explains in her shop.

"Fine Silver and Tourmalated Quartz Necklace" has a beautiful hammered fine silver (more silver content than sterling) disk, and quartz and onyx gemstone beads.
"Argentium Silver Chainmaille Bracelet" "was created by weaving 337 handmade links into a graceful Japanese Chain Maille pattern." Gorgeous! "14kt. Goldfilled Marquise Earrings with Argentium Silver Detail" "Three Hammered Marquise-shaped Leaves are suspended from hand formed Gold filled ear wires. The ear wires have been meticulously filed smooth for comfort and lightly hammered to add strength and durability and feature a tiny Argentium™ Sterling Silver bead detail." A work of art!
