THE HANDMADE PROCESS

I take pride in the fact that each and every piece of jewellery is crafted by hand from start to finish, and I love sharing the process with others, providing a more detailed look at what’s going on behind the scenes, and hopefully connecting people more with the art of making things by hand. 

Most items are first carved in wax and then cast in silver using the traditional lost-wax casting method, after which they go through the finishing steps. Other pieces are fabricated from scratch using different components and assembling them into the final piece. Many techniques, tools and methods are being used during the handmade process, and it requires time and effort, so naturally a lot of love and care is being put into crafting each piece!

The final steps in the process are very important to me, as this is where the pieces are finished up with my signature rugged look. I personally love all things vintage and worn. I love an old pair of boots or a vintage guitar with a ton of wear and patina. That’s what gives the specific item character and personality. 

I wanted to incorporate this feeling into my jewellery, so every piece is finished with my signature rugged look. This is done by intentionally creating nicks and dings and general wear on the item, as well as leaving natural hints of the handmade process, resulting in a few small imperfections and distress marks on your piece, giving off a slightly worn-in look and feel. This also gives each piece character as it ensures no two will ever be exactly the same.
