Announcement    Thank you for perusing Peggy Skemp Jewelry, handcrafted sculptural scientific illustrations in recycled gold and silver with unusual ethical gemstones. Peggy began selling her handcrafted fine art jewelry in 2001. In 2002 she learned gold and silversmithing at GIA and transitioned to making traditional fine jewelry until 2006, when she first started making the work she has come to be known for, representational miniatures with scientific and natural historical themes. Her work is made with love by traditional techniques; hand-engraving, stone-setting, fabrication, glass enameling, casting, weaving and twining. The gold and silver used to craft these intricate works are recycled, nickel-free, and have been assayed for purity. The gemstones are thoughtfully selected from ethical suppliers. All works are meticulously finished by hand, stamped with the makers marks PS and a mark indicating what metal the piece was made from. If the description calls an item "Silver" it is solid 925 silver, not a silver-toned base metal. If the description indicates gold, it will also indicate its karat, and this means the metal is solid gold. Jewelry can be made in 925 silver, 10, 14, 18 or 22 karat white, yellow, rose or green gold by custom order. If a metal has been plated, the description will tell you the base metal and what it was plated with, and it will be stamped with the base metal, not the plated metal. For example, vermeil gold plated silver jewelry will be stamped 925 to indicate the base metal is solid silver. We offer in-house plating and hand-engraving, or machine-engraving services, as well as custom bridal design. Please send a convo or email Peggy through her website to arrange any of these services.

Thank you again for admiring Peggy’s designs.
