These elegant simple handwoven designs start with artisan twisted wire from Bali in sterling silver and vermeil (24 karat gold plated sterling). We shape and weld each link to form secure intricate chains and then undertake expensive finishing processes to enhance beauty and longevity. As a result of our intensive labors, all Classic Collection pieces are gorgeous, feel lightweight on, and have a soft, smooth, extremely flexible drape for truly comfortable wear.

Classic Collection in Argentium Sterling Silver
We also create Classic Collection pieces in polished Argentium sterling silver.
The heavy gauge metal is sturdy and does not require welding to hold shape.
Argentium Sterling Bellezza Necklace
This necklace has a sterling silver swivel lobster clasp (see pictures below with clasp in front).
As shown in the above pictures, Argentium has a handsome gray look.
To create a softer white finish, we plate the Argentium with 400 mils of fine silver as shown in the following pictures.
