The Essential Self-Taught Metalsmith Toolkit - PDF
This is the ultimate metalsmith toolkit you’ll find out there to get started metalsmithing! As purely a visual learner, this is the toolkit I wish I had when I first started teaching myself how to smith.
With over 100 smithing tools listed over 49 pages, this extensive toolkit comes with explanations on best uses for each, pros & cons, different price-point options for your budget, and direct links for purchase. At the end of each chapter, you’ll also find helpful links to additional resources to help you understand these tools better and how to use them.
This comprehensive resource will empower you to create with precision, spend judiciously, and safeguard your health, as I strive to explain what items in your studio can be replaced with non-toxic options. This is a great investment in knowledge, tools, and your well-being!
This is a downloadable PDF Toolkit. Once purchased, you'll receive an email that links you to your download.

Jewelry Care
Jewelry Care
To care for your fine jewelry, regularly clean it with a polishing cloth to remove natural occurring tarnish (one will be included in your shipment). Keep your jewelry away from lotions, creams, cosmetics, perfumes, hair spray, and other beauty products as they can accelerate tarnishing. Avoid submerging your jewelry in water, moisture will not only tarnish your metals quicker but it can alter your stone over time. Always remove before bathing, swimming, washing hands, cleaning, etc. Store your jewelry in a cool & dry place (aka not your bathroom) to keep away from moisture.

I absolutely love my barrette! It’s not only beautiful and well made but holds my hair in place all day. I can’t wait to add more of Ashlyn’s treasures to my collection. Shipping was fast and beautifully packaged.

Ashlyn designed the most beautiful wedding pieces for me!!! I am so in love with them and can’t wait to wear them on my special day and always have them to remember my day. Ashlyn was the best to work with, she made this process so easy!! I can’t wait to get more pieces from her in the future!!
All my silver & Ash pieces make my heart so happy... this one included <3
I love my custom opal gold necklace. I’m obsessed! I love Ashlyn and supporting her small business. I’ve made several custom orders and I love every piece that I’ve ordered. There’s so much love and attention to details. Every jewelry Ashlyn makes is truly a work of art.
Best jewelry and customer service ever. I now have bought 3 rings. They are all one of kind and beautiful. I really appreciate the owner responding to me so fast when I have a question! ♥️♥️👑
I am beyond thrilled with my deco ring! The craftsmanship is impeccable, with stunning attention to detail. The ring is exactly as pictured and even more beautiful in person. The quality of the materials used is exceptional and it feels solid and substantial when worn. I have received numerous compliments on it and would highly recommend silverandash to anyone in search of a high-quality, elegant piece of jewelry.
Ashlyn is absolutely amazing at everything! Her communication is just as fantastic as her art and the quality of her pieces is unmatched. I have a deco ring as well that is now over a year old, I wear it daily, and it still looks AMAZING! If you are looking for new jewelry this is what you have been looking for! Absolutely LOVE <3
What a beautiful ring! I ordered a custom worked one for my mom for the holidays and Ashlyn was super helpful in making it happen in time. She produced a gorgeous piece that my mom will treasure. Thanks bunches!
Incredible experience. Ashlyn does phenomenal work, from the user experience with her website and design process, to the finished product itself. I ended up selecting just the stone and chose the designer's preference on the other specs of the ring I purchased. The final piece came out incredible; proving that Ashlyn has perfected her craft and understanding exactly what her customers need without asking. I purchased the ring for my wife for Christmas and her reaction was priceless. She was in love with the unboxing experience, packaging, and personalized note. The delivery time exceeded expectations as well. This is a 10/10 experience hands down. I highly recommend you support Silver & Ash as a local, small business for her creativity, craftsmanship, and personalization. Thank you, Ashlyn!
