Glaza Jewelry

Glaza Jewelry Hand made jewelry from an aspiring jeweler, made of bronze, brass or silver.

I've been making jewelry as a hobby and aspiring career since mid 2014, silversmithing, casting, and setting stones. I can make many different designs based on a customer's taste, and am amiable to having them completely design the piece they want made.

Hand Cut Persian Turquoise Ring Set in Hand Fabricated Sterling Silver

Hello everyone! Another check in post from me to everyone- I'm still alive and well! I've been working full blast at my job, and it's dominated most of my time. I'm still working into the nights on my repairs list, and I'm almost done, thank goodness. I can't wait for the day I can sit at my bench and just play around and experiment, but in the meantime, I have homework to finish up! Once I'm all caught up, I might limit my repairs and customs to 4 slots at a time, so I can't get overwhelmed. We'll see when I have more free time.

This is a custom ring for a customer back in New Mexico, and it's a good excuse to post!

Family Diamond Set in Hand Fabricated Sterling Silver Ring Inlaid with Kyocera Opal

So, here is more an update post for everyone, since I've been a little MIA these last few months.

I got a full time job here in Tucson at a mineral wholesaler, so my schedule has completely filled up down to the minute some days. I work 8-5 in the office, then hurry home to work on jewelry from 5:30-8. This has been putting me further and further behind with my ever-growing list of repairs and customs, but I'm working on them every day, little by little!

I've been doing the markets here in Tucson on Saturdays and Sundays, at two different markets to try and see different sides of town and find more of a customer base. It's been fun, but I will admit it's been exhausting to have essentially a 7 day workweek, so I'm thinking about revisiting my schedule after the holidays. I'll have the gem show coming to Tucson soon, and with my job, I'll be crazy busy working the show. I'll probably cut out Sundays in the future, just so I can have a day off to try and catch up on all the pieces I have piled up that need repairing.

I've been learning more than I ever could have in pretty much any other position at my new job, and I'm fine-tuning my gemology skills every day! These last few months have nearly exclusively been repairs and customs, but I've found time to experiment with some of the stones we have at my job and inlay them into rings, which turn out really cool. Those have mostly been all I have time for with all my repairs, and once I get through my list, I can't wait to experiment again and make pieces with new or different stones and techniques.

I miss all my friends in Las Cruces, and I can't wait to move back in a few years! The market there was something I still miss, from my customers to my fellow vendors. I'm trying to get a weekend trip back to Cruces planned, but that won't be until after February at least.

At any rate, I'm doing very well, sometimes TOO well (and busy), and I am barreling at full throttle looking for a vacation somewhere on my horizon!
