About the Artist

Our work is inspired by the movement that we see all around us. The Jewel piece is inspired by the swirls of nature. Our goal is to create simple, timeless, elegant pieces that people love and want to wear. We use the lost wax casting method. Pate De Verde. All pieces are hand carved by us in wax and then molded, when the mold is set we melt the wax out leaving a perfect cavity for our material to be poured into. All of our pieces are a one-time mold. The Lead Crystal and silver are cast separately, we fix them together using clear epoxy. The LC is kiln cast, when the LC comes out of the kiln we grind the backs flat and sandblast the front to give a beautiful matte finish. We cast the ss (using a centrifugal arm caster), and it goes through many stages of filing and finally polishing until we can bring it to a very high shine. The LC is fully backed by highly polished silver to give a unique glow in all light sources.
