Marquis Jewelry LLC "Painting with Fire Copper Jewelry

	Marquis Jewelry LLC "Painting with Fire Copper Jewelry Booth Number: TBD Address: 5831 E Lake Rd Conesus, New York 14435 Website: https://www.marquisjewelry.com Contact: andymarquis@yahoo.com My jewelry consists of mixed metals such as copper, brass, bronze, sterling and fine silver. To create my "fire painted" jewelry I use a torch on a jewelry grade copper sheet in a 11-step process I have developed over 16 years. I guide the flame to bring out the glorious patterns and luminous hues naturally hidden in the copper. There are no patinas used. I then search the fire painted sheets to select shapes and designs on the sheet and hand cut my "fire paintings". I then cut my shapes using a jeweler's saw or shears and many times incorporate semi-precious gemstones bezel set in fine silver to compliment the colors of the copper. I implement hot and cold metal-smithing techniques such as soldering, bezel setting, riveting, wire-wrapping and torch fusing. Although I have mastered the technique of guiding the flame, it cannot be controlled and thus no two pieces will ever be duplicated.
