Our necklaces were made using the ancient art of lost wax sculpting, the oldest method of jewellery making today. While factories have adopted some of these techniques to mass produce jewellery, there are significant differences in the way small artisanal brands like Venus Trine Mars use this age old method of crafting.
Every pendant in our store starts off sculped by hand, we use soft jewellers wax and slowly build up the piece while creating organic and intricate textures that simply cannot be replicated by machines.
Factory produced jewellery in the mass market use CAD (computer aided design) and a 3D printer simply prints the wax model - every line is mathematical and every piece is identical, producing jewellery that ends of looking sterile and souless.
Once our hand sculpted wax models are fired in a jewellers kiln, the result is gorgeous textures that still carry the artists mark. When you choose to shop with small artisanal brands like ours, not only will your new necklace stand out from the crowd, you're supporting a true art from that's been carried on through centuries of tradition.
