Craftmanship

It begins with a pencil, a scrap of paper, and the echoes of distant memories. Our designs come to life from the winding roads we’ve traveled, the waves we’ve surfed, and the cultures that have shaped us. Old-school tattoos, skate decks scraped by time, the hum of a motorbike through a quiet town, and the distant horizon of an endless sea — these are the moments that inspire every sketch. Each drawing is a whisper of adventure, a nod to the freedom of the road, the thrill of discovery, and the cultures that leave their mark on us. In every line, there is a story waiting to be told.

With the sketches in hand, the real work begins. A block of wax is the canvas, and the artisan’s tools move with slow precision, carving out each detail as if coaxing a story from stone. This is the old way, the ancient way, passed down from master to apprentice over generations. There are no machines here—just hands, skill, and patience. Each piece is carved with care, imperfections embraced, for these are the marks that make the piece truly unique. What begins as a sketch takes form in the wax, rough and raw, yet full of promise.

Once the wax carving is ready, the real magic begins. The ancient lost wax method is how we bring silver to life, the same way craftsmen have done for centuries. The wax model is encased in plaster, and as the heat rises, the wax melts away, leaving only a hollow where the silver will flow. And not just any silver—recycled 925 silver, reborn to carry a new story. The molten silver fills the mold, capturing every groove and detail, giving permanence to what was once just an idea. The piece is no longer wax; it has transformed, taking on a life of its own.

The casting is complete, but the journey isn’t over. The silver, still rough from the mold, undergoes a transformation. No paint touches these pieces, no shortcuts taken. The surface is oxidized, bringing depth and character, darkening the crevices to highlight the details. Then, the silver is polished, carefully buffed by hand until it gleams. The shine isn’t perfect, nor should it be. There’s a warmth to the finish, a sense that this piece has lived and breathed, just like the stories that inspired it.

Finally, the piece is ready to set out on its own journey. It’s placed in a wooden box, simple and crafted from recycled materials, just as thoughtful as the piece inside. No detail is overlooked, no step rushed. From the sketch to the box, each element reflects a commitment to craft and care, ensuring that what you hold isn’t just jewelry—it’s a legacy.
