ARTISTRY · BY HAND

Hand-forged. One at a time.

We don't outsource. We don't mass-produce. Every piece is filed, hammered, polished and finished in our Truckee workshop by the same hands that designed it.

1. 01

   Drawing

   Every piece begins as a sketch. Symbols, proportions, body geometry — the page comes before the metal. We draw until the form earns the metal.

2. 02

   Cutting

   Sterling silver, gold or titanium sheet cut by hand from raw stock. The lines we drew become physical edges. No CNC, no laser — only hand and shears for most pieces.

3. 03

   Forming

   Forging on the anvil. Hammered, bent, rolled. Annealing between rounds to keep the metal alive. This is where the piece takes its volume.

4. 04

   Setting

   Stones, meteorite fragments, or inlay are set by hand using bezel or prong. The setting decides whether a stone is held — or trapped.

5. 05

   Finishing

   Files, sandpaper grit by grit (320 → 600 → 1200), polishing wheel, and final hand-rub with cloth. We leave a slight tool memory in pieces that ask for it.

6. 06

   Blessing

   A quiet moment with the piece before it goes into its packaging. Mapudungun word, sage smoke, or simple intention — depending on the piece. Then it leaves the studio.

This is why our drops are small. Why some pieces take months. Why a one-of-a-kind sells once and becomes a memory.
