Jewelry making on an (almost) desert island

Originally Published 12-27-2012

Yes, it is possible to make jewelry on a Pacific island. I just found a goldsmith here on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos, and plan to speak to her in depth later in the week. Especially about how she keeps her beautiful rolling mill pristine and rust free during the rainy season, when I can't do that without lots and lots of work -- in the temperate zone!
More to come soon. Keep your fingers crossed everybody -- maybe I can get my boss interested in a story about the trials and tribulations of metalsmithing in paradise. Hmmm...
