Nancy Bihler
For six years Nancy studied with Charles Kacsur in his Sedona studio. Kacsur, who was a master jeweler and had been an industrial arts teacher in New York, taught her all the basics of silversmithing and jewelry fabrication as well as lapidary, handmade sphere-making, woodworking, and general shop skills. All of Nancy's silver and gold jewelry is completely hand-fabricated and that includes her chains. She is a member of the Sedona Gem and Mineral Club and participates in rockhounding trips to find material for her high-quality cabochons and also attends many gem and mineral shows to have access to unique cabs from around the world. The cabochon pictured is from Madagascar.
