I am so incredibly excited to announce I will be featured on the INSP television show Handcrafted America! The episode will air during their Fall 2017 Season 3, on Friday, October 27 at 8:30pm!

I had an extraordinary time sharing my studio and silversmithing process with the amazingly talented Jill Wagner and awesome Handcrafted America crew! It was so exciting to see behind the scenes of a film crew and how they make their magic happen.  I cannot wait to see the episode!

Handcrafted America host Jill Wagner travels the country to seek out talented artisans who continue to make products the traditional way… with their own two hands. In every half‐hour episode, Jill meets three gifted craftsmen and gets a behind‐the‐scenes look at how their products are created. Along the way, viewers learn about the history and cultural heritage that inspire and influence the design of their handcrafted products.

Cable network INSP is home to millions of Americans who cherish and embrace positive entertainment. INSP features programs filled with inspiring stories that honor timeless values and celebrate the American spirit.

Large Hoop Earrings

Kaminer Haislip’s handcrafted, original large hoop earrings are one of her most popular jewelry designs! They are extremely versatile for a wide variety of stylish looks and go day to night easily. The hammered hoop earring looks heavy, but is in fact very light. Kaminer creates volume to the large hoop by hammering sheet silver, which thins it out and makes it visually large, but not heavy in weight. These stunning large hoop earrings can be ordered in silver (pictured above) and yellow gold (pictured below).

You can order directly Kaminer’s silver large Hammered Hoop Earrings off this website in the online Shop at the following link. To custom order the large hoop earrings in yellow gold, contact us at info@kaminerhaislip.com for pricing and details.

These Hammered Hoop Earrings also come in a small size too! Check out the small hoop earrings at the link below!
