The Tuscon, Arizona based artisans behind Got All Your Marbles are a husband and wife team - William Skiles and Lisa Stoska. They began their interchangeable marble jewelry business because they wanted to work for themselves, not someone else.
William is the jewelry smith who not only figured out the way the marbles are held but has even patented the tension mechanism. He hand fabricates each original design from sterling silver wire/sheet. Once that is accomplished, he then artfully makes a silicon mold from which the sterling or gold pieces are produced through the lost wax process. They now offer a series of designs as well as different marble or gemstone bead sizes ranging from 10 -25 mm.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea...I too like interchangeable jewelry, I've made myself a pair of circle earrings and I made 6 or 7 different stone dangles to interchange.
