 ‘tears’ encapsulates and immortalizes the material in a state often impossible to preserve. Instead of casting, sterling silver shapes are formed and melted by hand and all hardware is handcrafted: it’s impossible to make the same ‘tears’ piece twice. molten silver flows along the wearer. each piece is unpredictable in their process, capturing the moment of flux within the silver itself and holding it there.
