The story of mankind has always been one of constant struggle for life against a hostile environment.
Unyielding harvests, biting disease, and vicious warfare have plagued humans since the beginning of time. The 21st century and stratification of luxury bring with them new vices – the numbing embrace of concrete apathy, and the siren’s call to submerge within the agreeable groupthink of the zeitgeist.
The ending is the same for all men, but only a select few have the tenacity and force of will necessary to make their mark felt. Our inspiration is drawn from the story of man’s struggle; the gothic exaltation of man, and the art nouveau glorification of life. The interactions of man, his environment, and the history of five thousand years lend a rich tapestry that is transformed by the designer into wearable ideas through ink, paper, silver, and gold.
Our jewelry heirlooms are handmade, crafted from the tension between sterling silver and rich 18 karat gold, and united with rare objects – diamonds, black pearls, and precious gemstones.
A weathering patina is then hand-applied through 5-10 progressive layers and washes, imparting humanistic qualities to the noble metals. These hard, yet malleable materials evolve alongside the experiences of the piece’s wearer. The pieces change and glow with time.
Evolution is life. Stasis is death.
