why is supporting independent makers/designers so important to you personally?
It is important to be aware of the vast amount of creatives and makers out there that pour their heart and soul into each and every piece of design that they create, which is a unique and one of a kind product for every persons who buys it. And by supporting their work you are creating a more sustainable community and economy and also helping to reduce environmental impact. No matter how small our actions can seem, it all adds up to make a meaningful difference.
can you explain in detail the process for making your jewlery?
Every piece starts off in sketch form then is brought to form by hand cutting from a metal sheet using a jewelers saw or hand sculpted from wax then cast in metal using the lost wax technique. Then the metal components are hand polished or tumbled in a tumbler to bring out the shine and then assembled together by hand or by soldering.
