The relief you see — that circular medallion with geometric and symbolic motifs — is the work of an artisan who understands how silver responds to the hammer. These are not cast; they are born from craft. At 3.1 cm, their compact size makes them perfect for everyday wear without sacrificing the visual presence that only true handwork delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterling .950 is purer than .925 — softer, rarer, and more valuable.

Repousse, moreover, is one of the most delicate techniques: it demands a steady hand, patience, and years of practice. A single mistaken hammer blow can ruin the piece.
