The Art of Becoming – Where Jewelry Begins
Inside the Studio
Inside the studio at Studio Rhythm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
This is where each piece of jewelry is made by hand at the bench — from casting raw metal to forming and hand engraving the final surface. The process is slow, deliberate, and rooted in traditional jewelry-making techniques.
Below is a look into that process as it happens in the studio.
Charm Wax Sculpting
Hand-carved in wax at the bench in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This charm begins as a wax model, shaped by hand before being cast into metal.
Shaping
Forming a ring shank on a mandrel at the bench in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Once cast, the silver is carefully shaped and refined by hand, as files and tools gradually reveal the final form.
Ring Stone Setting
Setting a stone into a ring by hand at the bench in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Each setting is carefully shaped to secure the stone while allowing it to catch the light.
Soldering
Soldering silver elements at the bench in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. With flame and silver solder, separate parts are joined as heat, timing, and patience bring the piece together.
Each piece begins here at the bench, shaped slowly by hand.
If you are visiting Gettysburg, you are always welcome to step inside the studio and see where the work happens.
