Round wire hoops were soldered directly to the bezel cups, creating a unified structural framework. A silver bead was then soldered in place to act as a retaining element, with the wire tension and bezel construction collectively holding the pearl securely while allowing the form to remain visually light and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJessica Milum is a jewellery artist working primarily in sterling silver, using a mix of hand fabrication and lost-wax casting.

Through a process-led approach to making, her work explores quiet shifts in form, softness within structure, and pieces that feel lived-in rather than fixed. Alongside her studio practice, she is passionate about creating welcoming entry points into jewellery-making through accessible workshops and shared creative spaces. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jessica Milum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42922605609008,"sku":"6TES125","price":275.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/2805\/2272\/files\/04-28.png?v=1777419473","url":"https:\/\/www.craftcouncilbc.shop\/products\/by-design","provider":"Craft Council of BC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
