I miss working with silver...

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...
