In the intricate world of jewelry design, I can only speak for myself, but my aim has always been to create pieces that stand the test of time—jewels that become cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. Behind the closed doors of my studio, a new collection is unfolding, one that maintains the essence of minimalist sophistication while infusing it with newness.

This collection, comprised of 20 carefully designed pieces, is slated to be cast in bronze, sterling silver, and solid gold. It's a dream come true for me as an artist, bringing to life designs I've been mulling over for years, all while staying true to my minimalist aesthetic.

Throughout the design process, I've deliberated on whether to offer these pieces in bronze alongside silver and gold. In the end, the decision to include bronze speaks volumes to my belief in inclusivity and sustainability. Bronze not only expands accessibility without compromising quality but also showcases the inherent beauty of this often-overlooked metal.

In a world where gold is often seen as the best, there's a growing awareness of the environmental and ethical challenges of gold plating. My growing belief is that if we desire solid gold, that is worth saving for this investment instead of the plated option. This realization has underscored the allure of bronze—a metal that not only boasts a warm, inviting hue but also boasts impressive sustainability credentials.

One question that frequently arises is whether bronze jewelry will cause skin discoloration. While it's true that factors like pH balance can play a role, consistent wear allows the body to adapt, reducing the likelihood of any green tint over time. So, don't hesitate to adorn yourself with those delightful bronze pieces and give this metal a chance.

Caring for bronze jewelry is straightforward yet essential in preserving its beauty. Keep your skin dry, steer clear of harsh chemicals, and store your treasures in airtight containers to prevent oxidation. And when the inevitable darkening occurs, a gentle rub with steel wool will bring back its luster, ensuring you can enjoy its beauty for years to come.

I hope you’ll join me as I make this transition into offering you metals and designs that allow me as an artist to express my designs more freely.
