Our original designs begin with hand drawn sketches in our Berkeley, California office. The drawings are enhanced with exact measurements, visual references, and detailed notes. We send the spec sheets to our talented silversmiths in Asia. They send back photos of hand carved wax models or 3D CAD files. From there, we make any necessary modifications. A new style can take months to perfect with revisions crisscrossing the globe. Eventually, we receive samples, which we test to make sure the products are as sturdy and beautiful as possible.

Our designs are handcrafted in Bali and Thailand using a combination of casting and fabrication by hand. Casting is more labor intensive than most people realize, especially when you hand-finish each piece. To cast flawless silver jewelry requires a delicate balance of art and science. In order to achieve our high quality standards, many variables come into play. What type of wax should be used? Where should the sprues be placed for a specific design? How many pieces will fit on one wax tree and how should they be spaced? Through long experience, plus trial and error, our highly skilled artisans craft a different “recipe” for each design.
