From Raw Silver to Refined Art

Experience the transformative journey of metalwork. We uphold the legacy of traditional silversmithing, crafting each piece with intention and mastery.

1. Intentional Design & Forging

Beginning with responsibly sourced sterling silver, each piece is conceived through iterative design. We then use traditional forging techniques, annealing the metal to make it pliable and shaping it with precise hammer blows and careful shaping.

2. Precision Soldering & Fabrication

Components are meticulously joined using silversmithing solder and a jeweler's torch. This delicate process requires a steady hand and keen eye, ensuring strong, seamless bonds that will endure for generations of wear.

3. Detail Finishing & Setting

4. Final Polishing & Inspection
