Lowlight started with a folder of phone photos, all taken in the twenty minutes after sunset. Rooftops, stairwells, the inside of a bus. Silver looks different then — it stops shining and starts holding light.
Darkened on purpose.
Every piece in the collection is oxidised by hand, then rubbed back so the high points catch and the recesses stay dark. It takes longer than plating and it never comes out the same twice.
“No two collars come out the same. We stopped trying to make them.”
Process — wax models laid out on the bench
Process — collar after casting, before finishingCast down the road.
We cast in recycled sterling with a family-run caster a ten-minute walk from the studio. Small runs mean we can change a piece between batches — the Lowlight signet went through four faces before we kept one.
Campaign — Lowlight collar, rooftop, blue hourThe oxidised finish will soften with wear. That is the intended result.
