Machinations

The Alchemy of Machinations

Every piece starts as a single chunk of wax that is carved into shape.

Next gold is applied to silver with a technique called Keum-boo. This is not electroplating.

Historical mentions in the west of application of gold to silver using the same methods used in Asia, though there are plenty of Roman and Greek artifacts which upon reexamination in recent years seem to have been gilded in this manner.
Symbol and stone are chosen for the history and cross-cultural meanings. Nothing is by chance. Machinations' style is bold, unique and something you will truly cherish wearing.

Unlike Anything

Perhaps nothing will make you feel more like a powerful witch than wearing this talon talisman – it feels like armor. It has a gorgeous weight to it, perfect for those who like to absently play with their jewelry all day. It’s a tactile pleasure. The tourmaline is the perfect shade of blue, like the Aegean Sea. I’m only sorry it took me this long to buy it.
