It’s been an absolute whirl, so many things have gone wrong, late nights, early rises…
There’s been a lot of midnight oil burned on this collection, a lot of stumbles, a few falls... yet some things have turned out better than our wildest dreams...
A Dream
This entire collection is a one-off, a completely limited edition collection. Handcrafted with care, every line and detail is unique. From the etchings on each piece, to the illustrations on the box they arrive in, we’ve poured heart and soul into every tiny detail...
There's been a lot of people, a lot of friends, new faces and rad humans that have been behind this collection. Some brilliant minds too... People who have told their stories, lended their hands, dropped a few words of wisdom. People willing to get up before the birds to go do something fun, wild or wacky, to create something beautiful with us.
Time
Each piece carefully carved from recycled sterling silver, hand forged with care and time. We’ve handcrafted these using an age-old wax carving technique, and brought them to life with personal touches… carefully etched, hammered and nicked, we’ve crafted a story, showing the beauty of time in each piece.
Some of these pieces came to life effortlessly; others went through hundreds of changes. Some, like the Panther, took a long, relentless string of trial and error. Others, like Athena, came together almost too perfectly. And for some, the perfection we dreamed was just out of reach... left for another day, another time.
Little Goodies
Nestled in an old school matchbox, each piece somes paired with with a little organic cotton canvas bag, and a note from us with the illustrated sketches behind the collection. Curious eyes may even spot a little hidden mark that hints at something we’ll not yet say. There's a soft felt polish cloth too that’ll keep your piece shining for the sun, salt and decades to come.
Take care of them – these pieces are crafted from sturdier stuff than your average sterling – and they should stand the test of time. Surf or sunshine, a bit of weather won't do them harm, but maybe don't go using them to open your beers...
The Process
At the very core of this collection, is the 'Creation'. It was not the first piece, although it was drawn in the center of the page, un-purposefully laid out as a central piece as we sketched and drew other ideas around it. Inspired by The Creation of Adam, Michelangelo's iconic artwork, this piece celebrates the process, the journey of bringing our dreams to life. Other pieces draw inspiration from elsewhere, from the pieces of paradise we hold close to heart, to the tiniest cactus, a pillar of strength come desert storm or drought. Even to the simple beauty of the stars and sun above, the celestial bodies that guide this world from afar; the stories and inspirations behind each piece have been drawn from far and wide across this earth… some are even inspired by the gods themselves.
