Our journey to metalsmithing
Our process
In our studio in Athens, ideas are translated into visual blueprints and transformed into tangible forms through the delicate art of hand carving in jewelry wax. This hands-on approach adds a personal touch to each piece, showcasing the fine details and nuances that make all handmade jewelry creations truly one-of-a-kind.
The next stage of the wax model’s journey is casting with the lost wax method. The resulting metal form is carefully extracted from the mold, revealing the intricate design in solid silver.
The raw piece undergoes further refinement through a series of processes, including heating, hammering, sanding and polishing. These transformative steps give each jewelry its final character, ensuring a unique and handcrafted masterpiece that bears the marks of the artisan’s craftmanship.
