Men’s Stainless Steel Jewellery
Men get the short end of the stick, they say. They don’t have the range and they don’t have the choice.
I decided to created a men’s range of jewellery but wanted something new and exciting. My husband has always appreciated finely crafted pattern-welded knives and I decided to create a limited edition range based on this superb, but super tough, material.
Damascus or pattern-welded steel is created like the historic samurai sword blades, by folding different types of steel into one bar.
This Men’s Stainless Steel Jewellery range incorporates some of the finest swedish damasteel to create individual and unique pieces. As the pattern is dictated by the exposing of the different layers of steel, no to are alike. The material is incredibly tough to work and needle files become almost a consumable item. There is also a lot of finishing so it’s never a quick piece to make.
The basic process of creating a damascus pendant:
The process is very labour intensive and you essentially have to finish the same piece of jewellery twice.
The benefits:

I like to think of these pieces as having fingerprints of their own. Of the limited editions made so far, several of them have been ‘released into the wild’, several of them have been poached by my husband who wears one daily.
They are low maintenance and striking pieces but take so time and effort to make that I haven’t made all that many. I still have a couple in stock but probably will only be making more as special orders.
