Eastern 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.
Eastern repoussé and kum boo pendant on a Roman chain
sterling, 24k gold, Koroit opal
Each Eastern repousse segment was freehand forged individually, framed in planished round wire, and highlighted with 24k gold keum boo. Each rainbow hematite was set in a 22k gold bezel with sterling, scroll-worked wire to add space and light for contrast. The repousse shapes are inspired by ‘rumi’ designs in Islamic art. Like an ‘arabesque’ is an abstracted leaf, a ‘rumi’ is an abstracted bird or insect wing, and also the name of a 13th cent., Persian, mystic poet, Jalaluddin Rumi. As the necklace came together, my further abstracted and three-dimensional forms reminded me of chocolate confections, sprinkled in with gold and colored sugars – a tribute to a poet who wrote of light and love.
The form of this gold granulation ring is inspired by the pyramidal rings in the Sutton Hoo hoard found in England. The base is an Eastern repousse pyramid that is forged out of one sheet of sterling silver with no seams. Upon the pyramid are organically formed sections of 18k gold fused granulation that draw the eye upward to the apex of the pyramid, a 22k gold bezel set pyramidal, pink tourmaline, surrounded by 22k gold granules. The 18k gold granulation of the shank echoes the undulating designs of the ring’s top.

Earrings of Eastern repousse patterned mokume gane with French tools
sterling silver, fine silver, copper, shibuichi, carnelian
These 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.
