Understanding Jewelry Making And Care

Hi, I’m Sookie. Welcome. I am here to talk to you about jewelry making and care. When I was a young adult, I spent my free time creating necklaces, bracelets and rings out of found items. The jewelry I made was given to my friends and family as gifts during the holidays. As my skills improved, I was able to start constructing pendants and charms for my jewelry. I also had to clean and care from my jewelry creations to keep them looking nice over the years. I hope you will follow my site to learn about these topics. Thanks.
