She's a metalsmith.
(sweet diamonds promise stacker ring by sarawestermark)
She's also an artisan ( artisan from Italian: artigiano). Sarawestermark handmakes jewelry by virtue of the craftswomanship you see in these studio peeks.
One piece at a time, with two hands at a time, in the studio you see.
Now that's handmade.

One of my favorite jewelers! With all the discussion recently around what is handmade, these pictures say it all.

Love to see these pics of a wonderful equipped studio!
great craftsmanship!
Oh, I wish I could come over and
start working,
I love Tools :D
and yes, indeed, for shore it is handmade!!!!!
Wonderful!
what a beautifully organized studio, I want one of those! I guess I'd better get cleaning...
wow, what a set up and all those tools!! this is great, to see the organisation, the process and the beautiful end result.
Amazing work!
fabulous work space! and i had to laugh, because i have an exercise ball for a chair in my studio in front of my laptop.
I was thrilled to see my shop featured in this post! I do have a love of tools, although I confess that we recently moved to a new house and my studio is not as orderly as in the pictures. I am just coming back from a buying trip and have many new gemstones to play with! I also bought lots of new rough for my husband to cut.
what a perfect post! and a beautiful explanation of handmade - could there ever be a better reason to buy handmade than that??
thank you
Thanks for the peek inside the metalsmith studio....love it. Beautiful work!
love your work sara-- and always tantalizing to see a person's work space-- thanks for sharing!
