-
Inspired by ancient cultures as well as their way of jewelry making, it comes at no surprise that Lois Hill pendants are as intricate as the art of these ancient civilizations. From patterns that flow every so gracefully to pieces that weave and intertwine among each other, Lois Hill designs echo the same complexity and natural beauty that almost all old world jewelry have.
Each piece embodies the designer’s belief in the fact that precision, beauty and history are timeless. The designs are elegant and sophisticated and yet all carry a kind of organic feel that immediately sets them apart from other jewelry pieces. This same organic nature that can be found in her designs can be attributed to the craftsmanship used in making the pieces themselves. Lois Hill has traveled the world looking for these lost techniques and reviving them in order to create her truly beautiful pieces.
These techniques include the ancient Etruscan art of granulation which involves the application of tiny metal beads to a smooth surface which in turn creates an interesting texture on that surface. Another technique that she employs is hammering through the use of handmade tools. This technique was widely used during the Stone Ages and gives the piece a kind of rustic nature to it. Lastly, she also makes use of silver cutouts which gives the sterling silver she uses to create her pieces wonderful patterns on them. These techniques, meshed together, give not just the Lois Hill pendants but all her other designs a touch of both ancient and modern beauty. Pieces that is sure to last you a lifetime of trends.
