Some of the world’s oldest and finest examples of metalsmithing were made using these methods. Preserving the interest in these labor-intensive processes is a personal calling for Victoria.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom Herman's work is ornate, but not flamboyant. Romantic yet modern, evoking classical metalworking traditions from long ago. No two pieces of Tom Herman’s jewelry are ever alike, because he designs and carves each item, taking for inspiration organic forms such as leaves and flowers, or the cut of a stone he’s created. Tom’s heirloom-quality jewelry is not the kind of work that will sit in the bottom drawer of your jewelry case. But to hear him talk about it, his work is “so simple, anybody can do it.”]]></description>

For Jill Hurant, the tiny grains of gold that decorated ancient Greek and Roman jewelry steered her direction in jewelry making. “lt’s so amazing. I have a rolling mill, a draw plate, but what they made in those times when they didn&#8217;t have the equipment we have, [...]]]></description>
