It All Starts With a Block of Carving Wax…See What This Little Cube Gets Turned Into…So Awesome!

When we buy handmade jewelry, we don’t really envision the process of getting it made. We should really appreciate the time, effort, and process a designer takes to create a piece of jewelry for us. It’s creativity, mixed with patience, passion, and love by the artist. To them, it means something. It’s their vision, and their pride….for you to wear and showcase. So, next time you purchase handmade jewelry, wear it proud. The artist would want you to.

It all starts with a block of carving wax…

It’s then cast in metal – either brass, silver, bronze, or gold.
