Southern California workshop
Made from scratch, not stamped from a mold.
Every item is made by hand after it’s ordered. Recycled and repurposed solid copper is cut, formed, hammered, and finished so the maker’s touch remains visible.
The small variations aren’t flaws. They’re the reason no two gifts tell exactly the same story.
