Here are some pictures from the jewelry work bench of E.J. Gold which I thought you might enjoy.

These pictures were taken September 25th during the making of the Rumi Hearts.

This is what you start with.
E.J. Gold showing you his transportable workbench, the signature stamp, hammer, sterling stamp, silver wire, bending tool and goggles.

Filing of the wire ends

Bending

Hammering
Both of these, hammering and bending, happen a number of times.

Sterling Silver Stamp

Signature Stamp...the first time I needed a magnifying glass to see it, now I can actually read it just with my eyes...:-)

Polishing

Here they are.
