About the Jewelry
All Monique's Art Jewelry pieces are designed and hand fabricated by myself. I fabricate using traditional soldering, piercing, and forming techniques. These are primarily sterling silver.
I also fabricate using a sintering process (kiln firing), when working with fine silver (Precious Metal Clay). These pieces are usually textured and have a patina applied to add color to the metal. All bezel set stones are hand set.
My designs are varied, many include natural semi-precious gemstones, fossils, pearls, hand lampwork glass beads, Swarovski crystals and glass beads. The metals used are sterling silver, fine silver, 22k gold, gold fill and gold vermeil.
