Just saw this video on how silver jewelry is made:

I feel a little bit sad looking at this video. I took some class where I work with silver. I liked the experience very much. I miss the time I spend working on some piece. I would like to work with silver again. I love silver. I like the look it have, the color. It is bordering obsession. I find silver attractive.
So, working with silver was fun. I didn't worked with any other metal. I am not interested with gold. I better like the finish of silver. Gold is quite common in jewelry, to what I could saw. It is good for those who like gold. I just prefer silver. In addition, I find that some stones look better in a silvered setting. For example, I find that obsidian and lapis lazuli are great in a silver bezel. It enhance the color. Black and blues are more apparent with the silver color. It put an enphasis on the stone itself. Another reason I like working with silver. Gold is fine but silver have his own usefulness.
I still miss working with silver. I miss soldering, even if I wasn't great at it. I miss the people I was in class with. I also miss all the process of creating beautiful pieces of jewelry. It wall all unique pieces. I would like to create more on that side or recreate some pieces that I have lost over time...
