How our Jewelry is Made
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of decorative art. Seemingly inherent to man's
nature, unconnected civilizations throughout time have each developed jewelry which
reflects their own unique period and culture.
The work of Gerhard Herbst is primarily concerned with sculptural form and its aesthetic
relationship to the body. Using techniques which have their origins in Bronze Age
British Isle goldsmithing (1400-
Gold Lunula Neck Collar C. 1800-
Nearly symmetrical this piece was well designed
for a comfortable fit.

Created through a combination of
twisting and hammering the metal.
