Shirley Price Limited Editions

I am a one woman show. I fabricate backs, bezels and links from fine silver flat stock & wire by cutting, soldering, and stamping my initial "S" on the back. The twigs on my pieces are fabricated from sterling silver wire. Prior to setting stones the fabricated pieces are polished in my tumbler containing mixed shot with cleaning solution. My cabochons, (stones), are chosen for shapes color & matrix. Many are hand polished, random cut by me. After hand pushing the bezel edges around the stone they are given a final polish in my ultrasonic tank, then dried with a hot steam spray from my steamer. My trademark single pearl is then set on most of my pieces where the design allows for it.
