Hello every one my name is Eric. I took on the name Silver when I logged on to the internet and needed a nickname for the online chat programs. The reason I picked the name Silver is, because for many years now I have been collecting rocks and minerals. Over the years I had collected so many beautiful stones, they were just sitting out side. This is when I realized, That I could cut them and polish to certian sizes. Once they were to a size one could set them into a piece of silver, and it was then I pick up the trade of silversmithing. The background I had growing up and in the work feild gave me the knowlege I needed to teach my self and to become rather good at it. This is how I picked up the name Silver.
