How it's made:

Our one-of-a-kind textures are created by a metalsmithing process called fusing. Each piece of sterling silver is hand-cut and carefully placed with tweezers onto a sterling silver base. Then with a little magic, a little luck, intense concentration and careful torch control, the piece is heated just before it completely melts. It's at this point that the pieces fuse to the base. This creates a unique look but also provides superior durability and texture to the piece. The final steps involve traditional metalsmithing techniques of sanding, polishing, stone setting, and adding a patina to get the desired finish.
