Hello, everybody!
Continuing bringing some of the latest oldest news from my world here is another great moment from 2011.
Last year I worked for the first time with Garlan Chain Company, that's a American chain manufacturer based right on the border of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, The company has been in the business for years and has an incredible line of chain styles made in brass, stainless and aluminum and they provide many options of plating.
Garlan used few of my pieces on an advertise posted on Bead Design Studio magazine and on the Tucson Mineral Show Guide(Jan/Feb 2012).
I was really impressed with the styling and the quality of the photo and it was flattering see my work connected with one of the top American chain manufacturer.
I have been pointed rose-gold as the strongest new color when it comes to metal components, and among with gunmetal or "black rhodium" arrived in the jewelry making market to stay.
