ORBIT — MERIDIAN — COMMA

Metal that has been asked to bend once, held there, and left alone. Every piece begins as a single line and ends where the body already curves.

The maison works in recycled silver and gold vermeil, in small runs, from a bench in lower Manhattan. A form is drawn flat, cut in wax by hand, cast, and then filed down until the light runs along it without catching.

Nothing is made to be seen from the front. The pieces are shaped for the angle you actually meet them at — across a table, over a shoulder, in passing.

THE MAISON

One bench, two metals, and a drawer of shapes that did not work yet.

A jeweler's workbench seen from above: hands filing a ring on a bench peg, with tools and coils of wire around them in warm workshop light.

Pieces are shown by appointment at the salon, one at a time, on the person wearing them.
