How it's made:

Our unique metal 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. From the silver masters, they are ten cast into copper-bronze (copper with a bronze alloy). The final steps involve traditional metalsmithing techniques of soldering, sanding, polishing, drilling, and applying a heat patina.
