LyricUpdates from Raucous Jewelry

It doesn’t seem right to start with anything but thank you. I am covered in silver dust as I work through the orders that came in this weekend. I have never had more orders in such a short time frame and I sure appreciate each one. Lyric for the win! I am also working on new pieces for 2025. Here is one creation that will hit the circuit with me and I love them! Truly one of a kind pair. Stay well. Stay strong. Stay true.

So many of you make great models for Raucous Jewelry and I thank you for stopping by at shows to let me view it on you. It really is fun for me. I saw a creation this last weekend from about 20 years ago; a style I had lost track of. Here is Jax (Sons of Anarchy) wearing my personal collection. Should I ever meet Charlie Hunnam in person, I will be sure to get a photo or two…

I made this necklace for the first time a few years ago. I wrote the word “peace” on the inside and hid it as I wound up the fine silver. I think it’s time to make more of these... Let’s all work together to get more peace out there in the world.

Although I’ve been making fine silver (starts as a clay product and ends up as .999 silver/pure silver/fine silver) for about 20 years, I needed it to be more flexible for new pieces this week. The flexible product I used in the past is no longer available… It took a few attempts to get the recipe correct, but olive oil was the key! It burns off in the kiln but gave me the time I needed to roll up & fold over the pieces. Hope each of you have had the joy of a success or two this week. And finally, I am sending strength to all for the week ahead.

Hope this finds each of you well. Thank you for your continued support, notes, encouragement, and kind words. I will spend the week with my two brothers and their wives. I grew up with my sister-in-laws and have know them since childhood. The 5 of us have been connected for over 50 years and that comfort of longevity and familiarity is speaking to me today. Stay well. Stay strong. Stay connected. We are better together.

I have been raucous in the studio this week and have been busy at the soldering station. Newly soldered pieces will be coming out soon. I hope to show them in the next newsletter. Hope this finds you all well and enjoying October.

Making pure silver/fine silver/.999 is a process! Once it is formed, dried, filed, through the kiln, and polished up this is what a pile looks like! Then I add patina, more texture, and finish it up.
