The Jewelry is inspired by travel, people, architecture, nature and functional forms, ranging from everyday objects to industrial elements. These shapes are softened, round and sensual with a combination of polished and textured surfaces, which flow together to create a sense of movement. A combination of lost wax casting and hand fabricating is employed to form the various collections. Hammering marks, forging techniques, stone settings and multiple soldering styles are also used. Although the pieces have a modern feel, they are, at their core, timeless. The unique blend of masculine and feminine tones transcends the gender specific. Crafting in sterling silver and gold, accented by black neoprene, pearls and gemstones.
