What types of metals do you work with? I commonly work with sterling silver, pewter, copper, small amounts of gold and copper alloys such as brass and bronze.   Do you work with diamonds and other expensive gemstones? No, I prefer to use semi-precious stones or found objects in my work.  Your local jeweller has the diamonds niche, whereas I have the creative metals niche.   Who do you work for? While most of my commissions are made for individuals or couples, I am open to producing work for a variety of people, including religious and government organizations and corporations. I can also work in collaboration with other creative professionals such as interior designers, public artists, and so on. Please inquire.   Do you do repair? Not usually.  I create my pieces to the best of my ability so that they should withstand normal wear.  If you need me to repair a piece I charge an hourly fee.  Regarding outside work, I would take a look at pewter vessels or objects that are in need of repair, as I have done some pewter repair work in the past.
