The Art of Hand-Alloying Gold

The standard yellow, white, and rose golds found in commercial jewelry are standardized. They are engineered for consistent machine processing. But in our workshop, we alloy our own metals in small batches, creating custom color palettes that speak to a softer, more historical aesthetic.

Finding the Signature Hue

Our signature alloy is a 19k "Champagne Gold." It sits elegantly between traditional yellow and rose gold, carrying a pale, warm undertone that complements all skin types. We achieve this by blending fine gold with precise ratios of pure silver, copper, and a whisper of palladium.

The Crucible

Melting the metals requires intense focus. Using an open-flame torch and a ceramic crucible, we heat the mixture to over 1,900°F. Once molten, the alloy is poured into an ingot mold, cooled, and then laboriously rolled into wire or sheet using a manual rolling mill. This mechanical work aligns the crystal structure of the metal, making it stronger and more resilient than cast pieces.
