~•~ About Me

Hi, I'm Deb Soromenho, jewelry artist and metalsmith.

A big part of my design is influenced by my love of travel. I adore visiting new places and studying the textures of life; the crumbling stone walls and cobblestone streets, slick high-rises, jagged mountaintops, and the colors of nature. I’m also fascinated by the emotion of these places; by the rush of city marketplaces, the ache of ancient villages and the excitement of crashing waves.

My design is also influenced by my background in the arts: In past years I've dabbled in many types of art --such as fine arts, illustration, and graphic design-- trying to find a fit for my inner artist. In metalsmithing and jewelry design I've finally found the type of art that suits me, where I can express my true artistic abilities in the forming and shaping of metal.

The freedom of working with metal, along with my love of travel, emotion, and texture, is what allows me to create jewelry that has a lot of textural detail and historical influences that hopefully inspires as much emotion in you when you wear it, as when I made it.

-Deb.

~•~ How I make my jewelry

Materials: I work in sterling silver, fine silver, copper, and bronze. I work mainly with natural materials for accents such as leather, hemp, silk, wood, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals.  --I sometimes use re-purposed or vintage when I fall in love w/something.

Process: I cold and hot forge metal for my designs using traditional goldsmithing techniques. This means using either heat from a soldering torch and/or hammers, saws, punches, pliers, and other tools to shape and decorate the metal. Everything starts from scratch as either a sheet of metal or a length of wire, and ends as a beautiful, high quality piece of artisan jewelry.

~•~ Guarantee & Policies

My Guarantee to you: I want you to be thrilled with your purchase, feel satisfied that you received high quality pieces, and know that you own original artisan jewelry. Therefore, I stand behind my work. I focus on putting out only the best quality workmanship and using the best quality materials, but mistakes do happen and things -occasionally- go wrong ;D So, if for any reason, you are not happy with your jewelry purchase, please contact me and I’ll either repair, replace, exchange, or refund your purchase.

Handmade: Due to the handmade nature of my jewelry, slight variations in stone, textures, patina, and shape may occur. Be assured that the same creativity and workmanship go into every piece I make. Contact me if you have any specifics likes or dislikes, I’m more than happy to work with you.

About Colors: I try very hard to take realistic pictures. While I try my best to depict and describe the colors, please understand the colors you see may be vary slightly because of the settings of your monitor.

Custom Orders: Custom orders require extra time and materials and are made to your specific direction and requirements. Therefore, any returns of these items will be subject to a 20% restocking fee (except in the case of breakage). Please ask me if you have questions.

Please be sure of your ring size. Use the ring sizing guide to help. Wrap rings tend to slide around due to the top-heavy nature of them so sometimes people order a 1/2 size small. Thick band rings tend to fit a 1/2 size small, so sometimes people order 1/2 size larger. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

What if It's the Wrong Size? Don't worry if you've ordered the wrong size. Let me know within 30 days of shipment and you can just send the ring back to me, and I'll resize it for free. Please be aware that some rings are not resizable.
