Heirloom Jewelry, Hand Made, Hand Polished, with each curve meticulously considered, designed and then redesigned to fit the feminine form. The technical term is Anticlastic Raising. We call it frozen ribbons, sinuous curls in gold, three dimensional, lightweight sculpture for the body. Sculptural to us means that our earrings must look great from the back as well as the front.

Our art jewelry is literally hand raised from a flat sheet of gold into the strong, lightweight, elegant pieces that defines our unique contribution to metalsmithing. Stones, pearls, colored accents are sprinkled throughout our designs as punctuation marks and added drama to our already fluid forms.

Anticlastic raising is a process by which metal is deformed by the use of polished hammers and plastic mallets of various sizes and shapes. All of our anticlastic forming is done using steel hammers on plastic stakes or plastic mallets on steel stakes.

Jerry Scavezze is a metalsmith with over 35 years experience and he has been a design force in the anticlastic world for 17 years. We began in 1989 with a small line of  earrings. We have since expanded that line and we now carry gold bracelets, handcrafted wedding bands, and pendants as well as our famous earrings.
