CUSTOM AND READYMADE JEWELRY
Shop my pages of readymade jewelry or browse my portfolio of custom jewelry projects. Whether I'm making custom or readymade jewelry, my favorite themes are the same: nature, flora, fauna - like frogs, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. And I always use quality materials, like sterling, gold, precious and semi-precious stones.
CUSTOM JEWELRY
Making custom, one of a kind jewelry on demand is both challenging and fun. Usually the designs have some meaning for my clients and together we try to find the best way to bring it to reality.
There is a deep down connection we have as humans with ornament like beads, jewelry and tattoos. There are beads that date from 40,000 years ago. And we know of at least 7,000 years of history with metalsmithing and jewelry. Seems like we have a need to express ourselves with ornament. It can help to identify our culture or subculture, our tastes in music and art, and say so much about who we are without words.
Take a look at my samples of some of my custom work and if you'd like to have something special made for yourself or as a gift, use my form to get a quote. If you have more questions, try my frequently asked questions page.

about me
 My name is Joe Silvera and I am a humble metalsmith, wax carver, co-owner of a bead and yarn store, and jewelry teacher. Writing a bio about myself seems like a perfect time to try to make sense of the crooked road that led me to here and now. After wandering around California State University at Long Beach as a general arts major, taking painting, sculpture and illustration classes, I tried a jewelry class, because my college roommate showed me his samples from his class. I loved it immediately, because I could bring everything from my fine arts background to jewelry.
