Sterling Silver Splints Listed! Woohoo!

My sterling silver arrived and the 16 gauge worked good enough for starters! The 18 gauge is definitely too flimsy. I will try to order 14 gauge and try it out on a ring. But for now you can view 2 sterling silver rings available in my shop at EDSjewelrycreations !

Sterling Silver Splints!

So I had requests for sterling silver splints, I am going to attempt it. They won't be as expensive as SilverRingSplintCo. but I will have to charge more for them. That silver is pricey, wow! But I think this will be a good idea and benefit many of us. I'm excited to make myself some! There is also 14K gold filled wire, I think I will try it out if the silver goes well!

First Post

Welcome to my new blog. I've tried to blog in the past but just couldn't figure it out and get into it. 


I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome with hypermobility. I have not been tested for the other types as of yet. I have gotten to the point of needing ring splints and didn't not like the prices I was finding, and I didn't want to wear ugly plastic rings on my fingers....so I started to create my own ring splint jewelry.


As you can see from my Etsy shop, I'm not doing this to get rich, I'm doing it to help myself and other be more comfortable in their body and with their daily pain each and every day of our lives. 


It's tough to live with this genetic disorder, it's painful. However, the splints help and I will continue to make them for myself and others. With your help and feedback, I can learn what will work for each of us, and try to create ring splints to benefit all those who need them.


Thanks for checking out my blog, I will do my best to update it weekly.
