Let me introduce myself, my name is April Graham. I make handcrafted jewelry in Todd, North Carolina, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains near Boone where I grew up. When I was a kid, I would become obsessed with something for a period of time then switch to another topic: Dinosaurs, rocks, horses, photography and so on.
Five years ago I came full circle when I rediscovered rocks thru a jewelry class. Now I get to play with rocks, metal and fire for fun! My goal is to produce unique, high quality designs while keeping my prices at reasonable rates.
I use only natural materials including gemstones, shell, bone, fossils, coral, pearls and wood. I also use various metals including, copper, brass, sterling and fine silver.
I use wire wrapping and soldering to make my jewelry. I also use various metal forming techniques including, hammering, casting, stamping and sawing. |
