YOJ 2007 Week 34 Shell netted pendant
And another netted bezel, this time constructed around a shell I bought in Hawaii (don't know the exact name). Goldfilled wire, tiny vermeil beads and tourmalines around it.Saturday, September 15, 2007

Hi Eni, I've been admiring your blog and website for quite sometime. I have a question: how long do you think it would take a novice to create jewelry. I notice it takes about a week for you, a professional, to create one peice of jewelry; do you think it will take longer for a novice? Also, do you think design is inate or is it something which can be learned? do you think a novice can make money selling their jewelry? Also, as I'm nearsighted what do you recommend for doing "up close" jewelry work?
Any ideas for a first a first piece of jewelry which can be beautiful and easy at the same time?
This is absolutely beautiful, Eni!
Sam
it is so Beautiful... I like the color..
Sandra, this is a difficult question, since it depends on the complexity of the piece. Some pieces can take an hour, others can take two or three days. FYI, it does not take me a week to create a piece -- I don't post every piece I create, since a lot of them are commissions and/or repeats.
I think design is definitely something that can be learned, with study. Taking some general design classes is VERY helpful.
Sandra, I had some of the same questions and then signed up for the mentoring program...I can't emphasize enough how beneficial it has been for me. I got my money's worth with all of the questions I asked in the first few weeks.
I don't know Eni personally--we're not even in the same time zone. But if this is something you are interested in, I strongly urge you to consider the mentoring program...email me if you have any questions about my satisfaction...
