Thanks for visiting Refiner's Fire by Jesco Jewelry! I am primarily self taught, but have taken private classes at Potomac Bead Company (highly recommended). I am also a Certified Jewelry Designer from New York Institute of Art and Design.
Having worked primarily in stringing/beading, I had an epiphany and began fold forming metal. It is an arduous, physically demanding art form. I studied texts written by Charles Lewton-Brain who brought this art form to present day. After many hours of practice, I developed a portfolio of beautiful finished pieces! My customers are thrilled with my new designs! Along with these metal forms, I've incorporated the use of AAÀ grades gemstones, found on Etsy sites, adding to the amazing outcomes!
Please visit my store and see if you don't agree! These are truly OOAK pieces with the many different behaviors of metals documented by my pieces!
