Metalsmiths Amy Buettner and Tucker Glasow

Using high karat golds and sterling silver, the jewelry is created using traditional fabricating techniques. Each piece features the finest and most unusual stones possible, some of which we cut and polish ourselves in our lapidary studio. We always draw and sketch to begin our designs. In the making, we employ sawing, forming, forging, soldering and stone setting. The fabrication includes mechanisms like hinges, hooks or swivels which invites interaction or conversation with the wearer, while highlighting some of the Earth's most beautiful materials. A patina, or oxidation, is always applied to enhance the textures and depth of each one of a kind design. Reverence for the natural world is our guiding muse, and respect for all things tiny yet precious gives us the impetus to create personal adornments.
