Our jewellery may look simple, but it can take months to transform an idea into a design that pleases us.   Once a design is ready to make the transition from paper to metal, we fabricate a master using traditional silversmithing techniques.  A mold is then made from the master, and the pieces are cast in silver, and occasionally in bronze.  There's a surprising amount of work involved in cleaning up  and finishing the castings, and we do all of that in our workshop.  As you can imagine, working on such a small scale can be challenging.

 

Our creations are made to last, however, the metals we use are subject to tarnish and may require a bit of cleaning from time to time. Exposure to oxygen is what causes the tarnish, so it helps to keep your jewellery in a ziplock bag when you aren't wearing it.

We have found that Silvo  (available for $4-$5 at grocery or hardware stores) works really well to clean all of these metals. Make sure to rinse off any residue, and dry the piece thoroughly.

Other options for cleaning silver:

• Brush with fine steel wool to remove tarnish and restore the satin finish.
• Rub with a paste of baking soda and water.  Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Rub with a silver polishing cloth
