Peace and health be with you all this new year.
I'm back to the blog and hope some of you remember the trail I left when LIFE kept me away from the blogging as well as new creations . Soon I will post new completions of figure based designs ,now that I have the time .I made many new pieces as custom requests and holiday orders .All requests were welcome and I'm happy to order any thing manufactured . For you that want to see what's available for remounting stones that need a new design ,or any thing that you may see in a retail store , here are some sources .I can get you literally anything from the wholesale manufacturers and I don't need to mark up like retail stores with their heavy overhead costs .
You can actually get anything. You find what you want and call me with the item number and I'll give you the near wholesale price I'm proud to be able to do. Go to STULLER.COM (one of America's largest supplier to the retail stores ) ....another is RIO GRANDE.COM ,and great source for gold jewelry is HERCO.COM and QUALITY GOLD .COM. All the country's biggest and best! Want a silver chain ,or a 3 carat certified diamond ,or a Rolex watch or a Diamond tennis bracelet,or anything large or small ? Go to these online catalogues ,give me the item number and save over 50% ,no matter what you want I am a jeweler of 40 years and now being an online store at Etsy.com /shop/pacificgrovejewelers with no overhead costs I can save you half or more . Try it . you'll see how easy it is to get what you want and save half or more." You have a friend in the business ",as they say. I got a client a natural ,flawless 1 carat ALEXANDERITE (very rare)that his wife saw in a
white gold ring covered in small diamonds at Tiffany's for near $20,000...I charged them $10,000 ! That's how good my sources are .Unbeatable ? I made a very modest profit but that's what a phone call can do for you!!
Beyond the huge savings in manufactured jewelry and fine gemstones,let's get back to what's coming. The Homage to the Female Form will begin to have originals posted soon . I'm sorry I had to take a brake but now I'm free to get back to the series you saw incomplete images of. Nearing finish , the lady in the triangle will be done very soon. I hope she peaks your interest and there's more on the way. All the best to you in 2015 ,Danny,360-379-6772, cheers.

Honoring the human figure's perfection.
Greetings fine people.
I haven't been blogging ,my bad !
The holidays plus me and my darling puppy Molly's illness took priority.
I have been working on a series of female figures and will be posting photos soon. Happily, I received an order for an elaborate Mermaid pendant from a very special client . This is not the first piece I've made for him. This one will be a rich yellow gold upper body and the tail area is Green Gold. Her hair will be flowing up as she holds on to a diving sea turtle. Her hair will be encrusted with fine diamonds .
That's the way it seems to go. Things happen in two's with a mermaid commission in the middle of working on a new female figure series.
I also have a version with a mermaid holding a dolphin
I guess
it is truly time for me to focus on the perfection of the female form.
Look for photos in the near future. May 2014 bring health and peace to us all, creatures large and small.
My best to you all,Danny

No Bull I carved these Steer !
No Bull I made these!
Two Taurus Necklaces I made for men the same summer back in the 80's .The bottom one is the wax I carved but the horns are white Gold and Diamonds
the finished bull bust is yellow gold. He had inherited a bull with the diamond horns but it was a very crude representation .He asked me to use the horns but carve a realistic bull. Approximately the size of a Half Dollar .
The full bodied Yellow Gold Bull on top has a White gold diamond collar . He wanted it to look like the bull on this logo.
Another man came in the store ,saw the bulls I carved and asked me to do a portrait in Gold of his Fiance .
I'll dig those pictures up.
What have you always wanted to see in Gold ?
