Chris Dec
Artisan: Chris Dec
Experience: Many of my earrings are made with solid copper. This lovely metal will darken naturally over time, and this antique patina is desired by most wearers. However, if you want to RETAIN the LOOK and sparkle of NEW COPPER, simply make a solution of 1/4 cup white vinegar and a teasp. of salt in a little jar. Dip your earrings in this solution for a brief moment. The shine comes back. Rinse in cool water immediately & thoroughly. Pat dry and hang suspended to dry completely overnight. I've been designing and making beaded jewelry for over 20 years. I have searched for vintage and rare beads and components from all corners of the globe, and have researched the origin of many of the vintage beads. It has been an in-depth lesson in history, one with which I continue with curiosity and passion.
Craft: Jeweler, Digital Artisan
Location: Sebastopol, CA
Education: I have been a Graphic Designer and interior designer. I studied Fine Arts in at SUNY Oswego, and have studied bead jewelry making at several classes with various teachers. My research into the history of beads is ongoing.

Love my necklace and earrings.

Chris designed a necklace to go with my cracked blue agate earrings. It is beautiful. I love the hand wrought clasp that she put on it for me. She even named the necklace after me. How cool is that? How is that for service? Thanks so much, Chris for all of the great pieces that you make for us.
