Jewelry Maker Extraordinaire

Did you know that Evan makes jewelry? He started in high school and has just kept the hobby up over the years. In fact, he surprised me with an engagement ring out of silver and then a white gold wedding ring he designed and made. (He made one for himself too!) Here are our rings:



In the past 4.5+ years since we've been dating and married, he's made me 2 rings, earrings, a necklace, and has even resoldered TWICE a CTR ring I've been wearing for 13 years. He really likes to create jewelry. He's a funny guy. He'll go from ice climbing all day to coming home and soldering to create himself a chain in the evening.

Right now, he is working on a silver chain for climbing so that he can wear his wedding ring around his neck while he's climbing. (Right now he just wears it, which can make climbing harder sometimes.) I love seeing him solder, even though it means having two gas tanks in my apartment and does involve blue flame near my valuables. In spite of my fears, he hasn't blown anything up yet. Here's a picture I took last week because I think his glasses for soldering are hilarious.

This is awesome. It's so fantastic that he makes you jewelry instead of buying it.
