HAND MADE WEARABLE ART
Hands, simple tools and sterling silver wire is all that’s required to make these beautiful hand made pieces. I use a method called cold working which does not use heat (soldering). With the exception of some clasps, all findings and wraps are shaped by me.

Here is the Scientific explaniation

Cold forming is a metalworking process that employs work hardening because the workpiece is shaped at a temperature below its recrystallization temperature, usually at the ambient temperature. Cold forming techniques are usually classified into four major groups: squeezing, bending, drawing, and shearing.

Translation: Using the four groups listed above I can control how hard or soft the metal should be while creating. It’s an amazing process.
