As an Architect, I have always been interested in advanced technology. The technologies used for the jewelry in this collection span 6000 years. From pen and ink sketches…to a wax model created on a 3-D printer…to the foundry and casting using “Cire Perdue” AKA Lost-Wax Casting. Lost-Wax Casting was an advanced technology in 4000 BC. It developed independently in several geographic areas worldwide. 3-D printing is a late 20th century technology. The combination of these ancient and current technologies allow for limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces that are destined to become heirlooms.

Featured Design
An iconic children’s story cast in silver or gold, was written and illustrated in 1936. Ferdinand today appeals to the young and the old alike. Why? Ferdinand was himself. He knew what made him happy and he did it, even if it was completely outside the world’s expectation for a fierce bull. He sat down quietly and just smelled the flowers.
Ferdinand reminds us that what is simple is often best. When we do what we know is right for us, and us alone, we will be happy. The way of the world is not right for every bull.
Ferdinand reminds us to just BE!
A portion of the profits generated by Ferdinand the Bull will be donated to Peace Drums USA and the Wounded Warrior Project.
