FIGURATIVE JEWELRY ART
As artists, our creative explorations of silver and gold jewelry often blend casting and forging techniques, transforming precious metals into miniature sculptures. Forging involves the artistic bending, shaping, and welding of metal, while castings are initially crafted in wax and produced using the traditional lost wax method. These techniques are frequently used in tandem.
The figure has played a pivotal role in our examination of form. Simultaneously, mythological themes-particularly those concerning mermaids-offer figurative narratives that approach abstraction and are characterized by flowing line curves reminiscent of the Art Nouveau Jewelry style.
PORCELAIN PENDANTS
We also enjoy working with porcelain, a traditional art medium for jewelry. Porcelain is a delicate, smooth, durable, eco-friendly medium that bridges modernity with cultural traditions. We present these beautiful, handmade, one-of-a-kind wearable art pendants.

Each creation will carry unique variations, making it a one-of-a-kind treasure—designed for your individuality in mind.
