Announcement    SayLaVee is taking a long break. I hope to see you in the future with a line of new items! Stay tuned. I've updated my metalsmithing information below.

Jewelry Making Journal Newsletter featured my Lapis and Sterling earrings in the November issue, number 313! You can see it here: http://jewelrymakingjournal.com/lapis-earrings-stamped-sterling/

See my video in the SayLaVee “About” section! It’s a “during and after” look at the creation of some of my Jewelry, and takes less than a minute to view.

Where my jewelry designs have been seen: My design challenge entry of a pyrite-in-agate cabochon brooch is in the September/October 2020 issue of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist. I received the prestigious Courtenay McGowan award for Creativity for my Rock Candy in Bloom neckpiece at the 2018 San Diego County Fair! My entry for a challenge to design a setting for an ammolite cabochon is in the Design Challenge section of the May 2017 issue of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist. My organic flower pendant "cover riff" design challenge made it into the July 2017 issue. I won third place at the 2017 San Diego fair for my sterling silver pierced Buckin’ Bronco Billfish (sailfish) brooch. And, in 2016 I won second place for my sterling silver pierced SayLaVee Seahorse brooch.

Each jewelry item you see is created with my inspiration and my hands, one piece at a time. I believe in quality workmanship and attention to detail. I spend a lot of time hand finishing each piece (filing, sanding, and polishing) because it makes all the difference in the quality of the item. Please convo me if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day! Lots of Love -- Chelle
