Well It had been a while since I saw my friend from Three Rivers so I decided to look for her and I found her again on facebook believe it or not. The last time that I saw her is when we worked together and she was starting her jewelery business and I thought I shared a little about her and hopefully you’ll spend your gay money locally and at local LGBT friendly businesses.
Tina St John Design
I’ve been designing jewelry since I was a young teenager. My mother was also an artist specializing in interior design and gourmet cooking. She enrolled me in a jewelry class with a designer from Denver, Colorado, who I later apprenticed with. Further on, after traveling to India, Europe and South Africa I decided to start a business of my own. Tina St John Design was launched in the early 90’s. With much trial and error, and several jewelry designing ventures I have simplified my line and way of presentation. My goal is “to design jewelry that provides a sense of well-being while making a classic statement.”
I am developing a line that incorporates vintage and antique beads to create new modern pieces. I will use your jewelry, and/or my found beads etc and recreate new treasured jewelry. Contact me to learn more about this service and to see what I’m creating from old into new. This eco-friendly and green line is my latest venture.
how I make my jewelry
In making all my jewelry pieces I use fine silver, semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls. Every piece is finished with sterling silver or gold-filled findings. The fine silver that I use is Precious Metal Clay. This is fine silver ground into powder that is mixed with a liquid binder resulting in a clay like consistency. After forming each piece I then fire them in my kiln at 1650 which fuses the metal together, burns off the liquid and forms the solid silver.
