Husbad and wife artists enjoy making heirloom art jewelry which is 100% hand fabricated by the artists. Using Argentium® sterling silver (tarnish resistant-93.5) trimmed with 18K or pure gold and embellished with hand carved gems, diamonds and pearls. Techniques: repoussé and chasing, fold forming, torch sculpting, texturizing and virtually any technique needed to create a particular effect. Chains are often handmade, link by link or woven.
