Inaugural "Designers of Distinction" Select Silver
Where can a jewelry designer go with silver? To the farthest reaches of innovation and creativity.
Silver is infinitely designable. Drawn into filaments as fine as wire or cast into jewelry of bold, modern geometry, the inherent beauty and lustrous depth of silver makes everything possible.
No wonder “Designers of Distinction” choose silver to express their most exciting concepts.
Stimulated by the intricacy of traditional silver and metal handicraft methods, Hill delved into her study of the forgotten arts. Traversing the globe on a quest to unearth ancient jewelry procedures, Hill explored such exotic ports of call as Israel, India, Thailand and Egypt.
After much research, what Hill found most artistically challenging was the supposition that all textile methods can be executed in metal. But when it came to guidance she was on her own. And, while Hill was able to locate many rare examples of ancient adornment, discovering how they were actually constructed was a challenge in itself. Some pieces, once deconstructed, took months to reconstruct. Hill was able to use the artifacts she found in her travels and combine them with her own designs to create a classic, yet contemporary, collection of handcrafted sterling silver jewelry.
