Welcome to my website. If you have just discovered my site, you need to know that everything I make is totally made by me by being hand built from solid sterling silver wire or sheet. Nothing is mechanically cast. I am now using Argentium Sterling, which is an alloy, consisting of 93.5% silver, 1.2% germanium and 5.3% copper. While being slightly more expensive, it is hypo-allergenic and does stay shiny better than the usual Sterling alloy of 92.5% silver with the balance of copper or nickel.
There are listings on the right side of my site of new, current jewelry for sale. On the left side, you will find an archive of all work, both current and past (sold) pieces. If the design is totally made from silver, I can usually create another piece of jewelry like it. However, many of the stones that I like to use are "one of a kind" gems that inspire my designs. I can sometimes get a similar stone, but never the exact same stone again. If you see a particular piece that you are interested in, please contact me immediately to inquire. You can send me an inquiry at "dan@dandye.com" or call my studio phone at 919-876-0609. Please do leave me a message and I'll get back in touch ASAP.
In addition to making custom pieces, I do participate in several public shows during the Spring and Summer in the Raleigh area. And my longest show is a 10+ day show in October in the Village of Yesteryear at the NC State Fair in Raleigh. In that amazing building, you will watch over 80 artists and craftspeople as they create their work! I will post announcements of the days that these events will take place. Please check back here for future details.
