A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "We handcraft each piece using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as forging, acid etching, fusing, soldering, embossing, folding, raising, and hot patina to Sterling Silver, Gold, Red Brass and Steel, creating unique and wearable works of art. We have shared in the design & fabrication phase of our jewelry for over 20 years as a father-daughter team. All pieces are signed with our initials since all pieces have been in our hands during different steps of creation. The strength of the partnership is the creativity, and the critical eye given from one to the other as a piece progresses, mixing a blend of innovative and elegant. The clean lines and uncluttered simplicity are key components to the elegance in every piece."
