Manifesting History
My process starts with curating museum collections to find interesting pieces of jewelry and art to recreate.
I digitalize original pieces into exact 3d models. My careful replicas are then 3d printed in wax.
One Ring at a Time
I use lost wax casting in order to fabricate a ring in metal. It's a technique with a history dating back at least 6500 years. All items are cast in precious metal, stamped and hand-finished here in the USA.
Brass and silver pieces are usually stocked and ship in 1-3 days.
Gold jewelry is usually cast to order and ships in 2-3 weeks.
This ring is utterly stunning! The care and attention to detail is visible in every part of it. Even the internal details of the hieroglyphs themselves have been modelled! The bezel swivels freely. The ring is very comfortable to wear, definitely becoming one of my daily wear favourites!
