My Alaska Jewelry

Welcome to Alaska Handmade Jewelry and feel free to browse our Alaskan handmade creations. You will find a variety of gemstones used in our designs. A jewelry creation from Alaska Handmade Jewelry will become a unique accent of jewelry which will become a keepsake.

Having grown up in the Mid-West I never thought that my life would lead me to several other states and end up in Alaska. Alaska life does hold many fascinations.

When living in the Southwest I started pursuing my jewelry designing and making interests. With the help and advice of others more accomplished than me, much was learned.

So, 2010 holds lots of new creations. One that will be coming very soon is Lampwork beads from our Alaska studio. Jim, our artist, has certainly created some beauties and I am sure you will find them fascinating. The more you look at his Lampwork beads, the more you see.

Please, make yourself at home and enjoy your visit. We are happy to answer any questions. Just use the contact us button. Feel free to fill up your shopping cart. Thanks for looking.

Open Chain German Silver necklace at Alaska Handmade Jewelry One of the current looks is large open chain necklaces. The thing about that is, often they are heavy and huge with a capitol "H". So, how does one wear the style and move freely?

Here is my answer, handmade big bold links out of the correct gauge of wire. The design is open and allows for lots of movement. Some sparkle is added with Swarovski crystals accenting Turquoise Magnesite.

Often another thing that comes into consideration of larger styled necklaces, or any necklace worn when working or relaxing, is the clasp. The clasp on this necklace is the same as the links on the chain but smaller and hooks into the chain itself.

My wire creations are being previewed on this blog. Many of these creations will be offered a limited time and then go on to a gallery showing. And not made available other than through the gallery. So by following this blog you get dibs.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about this or any of my creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful Work

Truly unique in styling and very ingenious of you to make the clasp out of the same design as the necklace! Great work!
