Silver Earrings with Charoite

Linda Sorensen’s lifelong passion for making things has turned into a career of handcrafting gold and silver jewelry. While a drawing and printmaking major at UNH, she enrolled in a beginning jewelry course in order to satisfy 3 remaining credit requirements and a gap in her schedule. That chance encounter led to further private study, professional workshops, and juried membership in the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Today in her hilltop studio in the northern White Mountains, Sorensen feels fortunate to have a work that she loves, using silver, gold, semi-precious stones and pearls to create jewelry with a balanced proportion and classic, timeless simplicity.
