I have purchased a couple of things so far from JellyJellyJellyBean, and I am in awe of the workmanship involved in making each piece of hand forged jewelry. Just reading the descriptions of what's involved with the creation of each piece makes you wish you could collect them all. It's not often you can find work this involved at this price, all hand made and true works of art.
Here are a few of my favorites from Jelly's shop:
What's Old is New Again
From jellyjellyjellybean
This lovely bracelet is hand forged one link at a time.
The process of making chain is a lost art.
This unique piece is made by wrapping 18 gauge wire around a mandrel, sawing each link apart, filing so each connection is perfectly made, fusing the link with a jewelers torch. Then each link is tested to make sure it is fused 100%, I then re measure the link around a mandrel, I have to mark exactly where I need to fuse the link again, I once again return to my jewelers torch and fuse again, balling the ends. Then each link is hand forged on a steel block, cleaned and polished.
Then the fun part begins! The assembly of the bracelet, weaving each link to the next!
Each bracelet is one of kind, no two links are exactly alike.

If you are in New York City and you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art you can see this exact link by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
