Their drawing
Your heirloom
Every wobble, strange proportion and imperfect line is part of the story. We preserve it rather than correct it.

How it works
How a piece is made
01
Upload the original
A photograph of the drawing is enough. We work from what they made.
02
Pay to begin
You pay for the piece. We then prepare a digital proof of the relief.
03
Approve the proof
Nothing is cast until you approve it. Crooked lines stay crooked.
04
We cast it
Solid precious metal, finished by hand, sent with an archive card.
We don’t redraw their drawing.
Crooked lines stay crooked.
Uneven eyes stay uneven.
Backwards letters stay backwards.
That’s the point.
Prototype archive
Paper beside the metal.
Studio examples of the drawing-to-object. Not customer work.
Two figures and a heart. The taller one is the parent.
A cat. One eye larger than the other.
Materials
Made to outlast the paper.
Sterling Silver
Solid 925 sterling silver.
9ct Gold
For pieces intended to stay in the family.
14ct Gold
The lasting option.
No plating. No resin. No printed photographs.
