Handmade

Handmade jewellery involves working with metal from scratch using a very high level of craftsmanship. This process does not involve any models or moulds. The process begins with raw pieces of metal that usually come in the form of wire and/or sheets. The metal is then manipulated by cutting, hammering, shaping and annealing (heating) to create the desired design. Once the metalwork is complete, it is polished and any gemstones are set to finalise the piece.
