Amelia Joe-Chandler does not use chemical polishes on her metal work. As a result, her work has a matte finish with a hand-made look. Her hammered bezels are an uncommon touch; they hold cabochons in place more securely than the more typical burnished bezel. The hand-finished silver resists tarnish better than more glossy sterling silver surfaces.
