The Evolution Art Jewelry Collection
The swirl of ever-moving water, the flick of a fishtail, the unfurling of a fern frond, the long elegant aspidistra leaves on my grandmother’s porch — these are the inspirations behind the Evolution Collection.
This is nature — powerful, persistent, and ever unfolding. As I transform the lines of nature into metal, they curve and wind as if they could grow beyond the object and embrace the one who wears them.
Each piece in the Evolution Collection is a hand-wrought work of studio art jewelry — one of a kind, alive with the memory of the natural world it came from.

Get the Book! – Radiant Echoes: The Metal Mastery of Victoria Lansford
$65.00Radiant Echoes: The Metal Mastery of Victoria Lansford showcases the artist’s journey through over three decades of ground-breaking applications of historical metalsmithing techniques. This retrospective publication comprehensively not only explores Lansford’s endless ability with complex metalsmithing techniques including filigree, Eastern repoussé, and granulation, but also speaks to how her skill and vision marry in the creation of objects that filters tradition through a contemporary lens. Simultaneously an artist, alchemist, and shaman, Lansford brings together the familiar with the unexpected through creative work that rethinks the millennia-old practice of turning raw materials into precious objects.
The book features over 150 images of art jewelry, art objects, and large-scale metalwork drawn from across Lansford’s career as well as a comprehensive glossary of her techniques used, offering a unique opportunity for readers to explore the evolution of Lansford’s creativity and craftsmanship. Radiant Echoes will make a fantastic addition to the library of anyone who loves jewelry, sculpture, metalsmithing, or simply contemplating beautiful objects.
Radiant Echoes includes new essays by curators, scholars, and artists including Kate Bonansinga, Cynthia Eid, Rauni Higson, Elyse Zorn Karlin, Victoria Lansford, and Jane Milosch, with consulting editor Emily Zilber.

Eternal Spring
$26,000.00Eastern repousse neckpiece of sterling silver with wax pigment, inspired by a bouquet of spring tulips
The leaves articulate to create a gentle curve around the neck. The center section was hammered from one single sheet and took over 120 hours of refined hand hammering to achieve the detail of the overlapping petals and leaves.
Permanent, pigmented wax in the recessed areas and finely chased lines adds a subtle hint of color. The result is durable and imminently wearable. Because of the tensile strength of the Eastern repousse technique, the necklace is surprising lightweight and comfortable.

Into the Depth III
$470.00Earrings of Eastern repousse patterned mokume gane with French tools
sterling silver, fine silver, copper, shibuichi, carnelianThese earrings are very lightweight! To create their unusual surface design, I blended the ancient technique of Eastern repoussé with the Japanese technique of mokume gane. I did all of the free-hand hammering with unpatterned mokume gane, a fused sheet made from layers of sterling, copper, and shibuichi. Once I had finished the Eastern repoussé, I ground the surface hammer marks to expose the resulting cross section of the different metals. The richness of the patina adds to the glow of the carnelian cabochons.
