    Greetings, everyone. This artist makes stunning jewelry:
    http://www.lauriekaiser.com/lkmovie.html 

    I wonder how it was made. Right now, I make products using gems,
    precious metal wire and findings, and silk string. However, I have
    many designs -- which are quite different from this designers but
    are also nature-inspired -- that I would like to produce. However, I
    do not have a bench and do not have the space to buy one. How would
    it be possible for me to have a design of mine mass-produced? Did
    this woman cast her items? Did she carve each one individually? I'd
    love any guesses that people might have about how it was made. I am
    not as concerned about the stones, which I know can be bought or
    that a lapidarist can produce, as I am about how she produced all of
    the precious metal pieces. I apologize to those who are very
    experienced at metalsmithing if my inexperienced comments are not
    making sense.
