About Me
About Me
My name is Faith Gratz Oriold and I design and create one-of-a-kind
personalized hand stamped jewelry, artisan jewelry, fused glass and
sterling silver jewelry components in my studio just west of Chicago,
Illinois.
My stamped jewelry is created using 14 gauge - 22 gauge sterling silver base components. The smaller the gauge number the thicker the
metal. When purchasing hand stamped jewelry, always inquire about the thickness of
the metal. Most of my items are custom made to order to create that one of a
kind personalized keepsake for yourself or as a wonderful and thoughtful gift.
Many of these pieces can be stamped on the reverse side for an
additional charge. Please contact me for double sided stamping quotes if
not already listed on the product description.
All connections and jump rings incorporated into my pieces are soldered closed so there is no risk
of these connections or jump rings opening up and the piece or component falling
off.
My artisan jewelry is created using only the finest components including
semi-precious gemstones, .925 sterling silver, Balinese silver
components, Karen Hill Tribe silver components, Swarovski crystals and
pearls, freshwater pearls and handmade lampwork art glass beads and fused glass pieces. I enjoy utilizing a variety of materials in my work
as the design possibilities are endless. I also like to dabble in metal clays when I have the time.
Many of my bracelets can be resized for a perfect fit and all earrings
can be modified to hang from posts, earwires or leverbacks. Please
contact me with any sizing questions.
I am a member of SRAJD (#216) – Self-Representing Artist Jewelry
Designer and SRA (#O-8) - Self-Representing Artist - Glass Artist. These
organizations are comprised of individual jewelry designers and glass
artists who design, create and sell their own unique works of art and
not mass produced items. When you purchase your jewelry and/or beads
from members of these organizations you can be assured that you are
getting a truly unique, handmade artisan design.
