New — 14k yellow gold
One stone,
chosen first
A cushion-cut amethyst, checkerboard faceted so the light breaks across it rather than through it. The gold frame is hammered by hand around the stone after it is set — never before.
Up close
Where the work shows
Woven silver holds its shape and still falls like cloth. Each strand is drawn, plaited and burnished in sequence, then the clasp is set by hand under a loupe.
It is slower than casting. You can see it at arm’s length.
The studio
Made slowly, worn for decades
Every piece begins with a stone on the bench and no drawing. Colour and depth decide the setting, so the frame is built to the stone rather than the stone dropped into a frame.
Because the texture is punched by hand, no two surfaces catch the light the same way. That is the point of doing it this way.
One of a kind
Because every stone is cut once, the piece you receive has never existed before.
Stones are sourced in small parcels and set as they arrive. When a piece sells, the next one is close but not identical.
