Sterling
Included in the list of noble metals, sterling silver has been a metal of choice in personal adornment for centuries. In jewelry, its use widened during the industrial revolution, and continues today as a luminously beautiful option for those desiring a silver metal, and a more accessible entry point. I have long used silver as an accent in my work with 18K gold, both in its oxidized and brighter forms, using it as a design element where it suits my ideas. This collection represents a deeper embrace of the metal, exploring hand finishing techniques to achieve a particular lustre and sheen that reminds me of my best and most favorite Tahitian pearls.
