My new Jewelry Class


I'm excited about a new path I'm on. I registered @ Oakland County Community College on September 10, 2010. I had a list of classes I was interested in. My top being a Video editing class. Yes you heard me right. I fell in love with video editing when I made a home video from my Granddaughter Birthday celebration. I wanted to take it a step further. My second choice was a metal-smith class, so when I went to register for class, I was informed, that the video editing class had already started and the jewelry class was available. I was excited about the metal-smith's class. This class will allow me to make unique sterling silver
clip on earrings and other fine metal jewelry. This will be a class of challenge, being that everything I've learned about jewelry making I was self taught and spiritually lead. I can't wait to get to class!

Clip on earrings for women!

The Dark side of Clip on Earrings

I closed the door to a storage room. kneeled down and cried out... Lord, if I have to work this hard, let me do-it for myself. Several days later a voice said: "Sell Jewelry" During this time I worked as an administrative assistant, doing everyone else's job, plus my own and I was still able to hear, the voice with-in. Not knowing much about the jewelry industry, I started to take tiny steps and to my surprise Antreina's Creations was born! Above is one of the first earrings I created. Not knowing where to purchased denim jewelry findings, I went to a fabric store and purchase a small amount, and started cutting away. I fell in love with the end results featured above. The picture was taken in September 2011.   Overall I’m impressed with the condition of the earring.   I used a two part Epoxy glue, which held the earring together pretty good.   There’s some yellowing from the glue and some stones missing, but overall, to be over 20 years old, I'm impressed with t
