Cohee Jewelry
Meet the Maker
I am a retired metrology engineer (metrology is the science of measurement). It's very important to me to stay active doing things that I enjoy. I love working with metals and beautiful gemstones, so I make jewelry, mostly for women. My motto is: "Make it pretty. Make it special. Make it for her."
I work mostly with sterling silver and gemstones, both cut gems and beads. However, I also work with silver and gold filled metals. Occasionally, I'll make something using other metals, but it will be clearly stated in the descriptions. Many of my items are hand soldered, including (some) gem settings, hook clasps, extender chains and decorative components and findings. I make my own sawn jump rings down to 1.5 mm inside diameter.
Some days I feel crafty and make dangly earrings, other days I feel like soldering settings for a fine jewelry piece, but I always make each piece with love and consideration for the customer.
Most of my listings are ready to ship but will need a final inspection and cleaning. I also make my own custom gift boxes. Each piece is shipped with the gift box, cleaning instructions, polishing cloth, anti-tarnish bag and tab. Earrings will also include additional silicone back stoppers.
As a final note: I do make most of my French hook ear wires. Yes, I could purchase them wholesale and drop the price a few bucks, but in my opinion, my handmade ear wires are soooo much better and not that much more expensive.
How it’s Made
Much patience is required to carefully arrange six small sterling silver jump rings in a circle on a charcoal block for soldering. Once the rings are soldered, a small circle is punched from a sheet of sterling silver, hallmarked and formed into a cup. The cup is soldered to the floret rings and a silver ped is soldered to the cup. Jump rings are soldered to the assembly for attachment to the ear wires. The amber beads are then glued to the cup and peg.
Handmade French hook ear wires are made in batches of about 25 pairs at a time. This makes the task faster and more efficient. It also helps to keep the size and shape more consistent.
The ear wires are carefully cut to length. One ends are ground with a rotary cup burr. The ear wires are formed using jewelry pliers. A wire mill is used to flatten the front of the loop to harden the wire which helps the ear loop hold it's shape.
A final inspection and shaping process involves making sure the ear wires are flat, removing any twists and correcting any deviation from the desired shape. The ear wires are then hallmarked and branded. Matched pairs are selected and kept together with a brass jump ring (which is not part of the product). The entire batch is then hardened and polished in a tumbler to provide a shiny finish.
