Terri's
Handmade Jewelry
Original Designs
Terri Davis has been making jewelry for 29 years. She has taken courses at the Florida Keys Community College, Manchester Art Institute, League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in Exeter NH and is currently studying chasing under a master silversmith.
Terri has done craft fairs all over the eastern United States. Currently she is doing shows in New England. She also displays her work at her studio and at private showings.
Terri is committed to passing along her knowledge of her craft. She demonstrates at local schools and shows. All jewelry is hand constructed and hand chased in gold and silver. Each piece is individually made through a series of different techniques such as forging, stone setting, soldering, sawing, roller printing, chasing and repousse.
Chasing and repousse is a traditional art. It was first used by the
Egyptian's 5000 years ago. Chasing begins with making your own tools. These
tools are used to chase lines, surface finishing, and raising the metal
for a 3 dimensional look. With these techniques flowers, animals, sealife,
etc may be captured in jewelry.
