The connection is
part of the design.
Each silver element is shaped for a specific ceramic body. Its position, balance and fixing points are considered together, then joined through a precise mechanical process inspired by traditional Chinese riveting practice.
This approach is slower than adhesive assembly, but honest about how the materials meet. What holds the object together can be seen and understood.
Material noteSilver ornament: 999 fine silver. Ceramic body and dimensions vary by piece; see each product page for exact specifications.
Four deliberate stages.
