In this site you’ll find a variety of posts which are photos and descriptions of jewelry pieces I’ve made. It is best not to think of this site as a blog, but as a gallery, or perhaps a catalogue of sorts. The order of the postings is somewhat arbitrary. Don’t let the dates fool you into thinking “newer is fresher.” I have a backlog that I need to catch up on, and then I’ll be adding pieces as they are made. Think of the dates more like numbered pages in a catalogue.
I have been making jewelry since I was in high school (that is some time ago). I enjoy the process of idea, design, problem solving, the steps in fabrication and completion. I haven’t tried very hard to sell the pieces. In my case that would detract me from the reason I make these pieces. I do feel tremendous satisfaction when others respond to the pieces I’ve made, and I have given away and sold many.
I’ve set up this site as a place where I can direct interested people to view my work. I hope you enjoy it. And if you see something you’d like to own, drop me a note in the comment section.
Dear Mr. Schultzki,
I am very interested in purchasing the silver belt buckle shown in your Christmas catalogue, if it is still available.
I AM very uncomfortable with this bargaining procedure. That is why I can’t go to garage sales, the idea of offering too little or too much money makes me nervous and I begin to sweat profusely. I find it a most unpleasant experience!
I do like so many of your pieces, and would love to give my husband the silver buckle, if it is still available, for Christmas. I do hope perhaps you could make an exception this once and just provide me what you consider a fair price for your beautiful work. If my pocketbook is healthy enough, I will gladly pay you and avoid that nervous sweaty condition.
And since we are getting closer to Christmas, perhaps you could hurry with that information.
Sincerely,
Kathrine R Walters
Dear Ms. Katarina Watters:
Unfortunately the belt is no longer available and even more unfortunater is that I cannot fabricated another in time for Christmas (oh that I had a workshop full of elves). But perhaps you will commission me to make one for Laury for a future gift-giving event? You sound like a nice person so I will not make you go through the scary negotiating process in that future.
Hi, My name is Mary Schloss and I was looking for your contact information.
Send me an email at jack.m.schultz@gmail.com and we can discuss the details.
Jack!
Do you have any more “cup” pendants?
I’m happy to make one for you Genevieve.
