Craft & Care

Crafting

Each piece is conceived from the deepest realms of the heart mines. It continues to grow in the realms of the outer conscious mind. Once mature enough to stand on its own it is then transferred via pencil to paper and given dimensions. Once the dimensions are perfected it is then handcrafted in to wax form. Once perfected in wax form it is then cast into the metals used for this unique collection.
