Luscious Amber

People are always fascinated by amber and look for the rare and unusual qualities of this stone (actually it`s a petrified tree resin). When I choose pieces to work with, the more flecks and "stuff" in it, the better. So here is a pin/pendant piece featuring green amber at the top and honey amber at the bottom. The piece is called "Solstice" and it combines stamped textures, shapes, metals, and of course, gorgeous amber. Click the image to see the flecks up close.

About Geometals by Eve Greiner

My latest creative outlet has been creating marbelized ceramic mosaics. There will be a new page with photos.

I began metalsmithing over 20 years ago and am mostly self-taught. This came about after years of working with clay. There has always been a fascination with textures and shapes, which I now incorporate into my jewelry designs as I did with my clay art. When people see me at shows, I have no doubt they aren`t aware of the many steps that are taken to create a piece from raw materials and work with it until it is just beautiful, ready to be an adornment. Some of those metalsmithing techniques involve soldering (a whole lot of that), filing, using stamping tools for texture, use of a rolling mill - also for texture, cutting, bending, and polishing to a high sheen finish. The crowning touch at the end of all this is the stone setting. Sometimes the stones are so lovely, I can`t stop starring at them. Then I know my work is complete and ready to present to the people that attend the shows.

Over the years, many people have asked me if I had a website. I don`t have an official fancy one because my work changes often, and I don`t want to spend time editing and updating a site instead of spending time in my workshop. So this little blog came about to let everyone know what shows I`ll be doing and occasionally I will upload a photo or 2 to give people an idea of the style of my work.

I am also available for home shows and for appointments to view my work at my home. Please email me at geometals@aol.com for more info. I hope to see you at one of the venues posted.
