Handmade from start to finish. The most time consuming part of creating each piece of Andrea's jewellery is the letter pressing. She personally hand stamps each individual piece of one letter at time. You can think of her as a human printing press!

The process of letterpressing is simply striking a steel stamp with a hammer. This leaves an impression of the stamp in the silver. From there the piece is finished to a medium matte.

Care: Silver will tarnish over time. To keep a bright finish, good old fashioned toothpaste works great with brush on with a old toothbrush. For stubborn tarnish, a thick paste of baking soda and water works great. Avoid harsh chemical dips and pastes. Not only are they bad for the environment, they in time accelerate the tarnishing process.
