Well, now it's really been a long time since I attended to this blog!
In 2019, I was just getting started in silversmithing and I was complaining about the cost of silver rising to $16.95 per ounce. LOL!!! What I would give for that price now! The price of silver at this date is hovering between $60 and $70 per ounce. That is the spot price for raw silver out of the ground. When I buy silver sheet and wire, there is a fabrication charge added, which adds about $20-$25 per ounce, so I'm paying close to $100/ounce when I buy silver to work with. Ouch! It really hurts when I make a mistake and have to scrap a project. I practically cry over the wasted silver. 😣 I've been finding ways to melt some of it and use it for other projects though, so that helps a bit.
I want to resurrect this blog and use it to tell you some interesting things about silver, jewelry, and my work. I hope that you will find it entertaining. Let me know in the comments if there is a topic that you would like me to write about.
That's it for now, short post today and I'll work on something more over the weekend. Talk to you soon!
