What is Cold Forging?
Cold-forging is the art of shaping metal and wire without heat or solder. Using a hammer, a metal bench block, and simple tools, wire is carefully sculpted into durable, intricate shapes that are wrapped together to create jewelry or metal artworks. The process adds structure, dimension, and character, creating pieces that are as strong as they are unique.

How long does it take to create a piece of jewelry?
It depends on several factors: type of jewelry, size, complexity, and type of metal. Some metals are more forgiving; copper, for example, is soft and easy to shape, while others like bronze or silver need a bit more patience and care. Smaller, simpler designs can take roughly an hour to complete, while larger, more complex pieces may take 10+ hours to bring to life. No matter the size, each piece receives the same attention to detail, ensuring it’s not only beautiful, but built to last.

How do I care for my jewelry?
REMOVE BEFORE
Showering, swimming, sleeping, or exercising.
Your pieces travel with you, give them a little break before your next adventure.
AVOID CONTACT WITH
Moisture, perfumes, chemicals, hairsprays, excessive sweat, body lotions, or any liquids (except for cleaning).
These can dull shine and weaken gemstones over time. Treat them well, they deserve it and so do you.
STORAGE
When not in use, store your jewelry in its original gift box, a container, or a ziplock bag, along with the included anti-tarnish square.
So it's always ready when you are.
CLEANING
Gently wash with lukewarm, soapy water using a toothbrush or soft cloth. Dry thoroughly, then polish with the included polishing cloth.
