Fire Formed, Beautifully Imperfect
The Origin of Echoes and Alchemy
It began with a simple class, a first step into the world of metalwork. Silver was the medium offered, but copper spoke louder. Its warmth, its honesty,
its ability to change and carry memory resonated deeply.
I fell in love with the process—the torch meeting copper, each step building toward something whole. Watching individual pieces connect, whether carefully planned or imperfectly improvised, became a ritual of discovery. Inspiration didn’t come from intention, but from the materials themselves, from what “fit” in the moment.
Some days I spent hours shaping a single piece, chasing detail and nuance. Other days, five creations emerged in a rush of energy. Tradition might demand polish and perfection, but for me, the meaning lies in the process—learning not from instructions, but from doing.
Echoes and Alchemy was born from that journey. Each piece carries the fire that formed it, the persistence of trial and error, and the beauty of imperfection. More than adornment, these creations are echoes of transformation—alchemy made tangible, crafted to connect with the people who wear them.
The Ritual of Fire and Metal
Copper is primal—warm, responsive, and unapologetically real. It doesn’t hide its wear; it deepens with time, reacts to touch, and carries every mark like memory.
The torch is transformation. It doesn’t just bind metal—it reveals it. Flame is where structure meets surrender, where heat draws out strength and uncovers story.
Soldering is more than technique—it is ritual. It is the moment when control yields to chemistry, and imperfection becomes identity.
Together, copper and torch embody truth: tools that refine, reveal, and remind us that beauty is born in fire
