...from the jeweler maker in Rochester

I've been intrigued by the whole idea of sending out the pieces and see what stories come from it. Been lucky enough to host the silver filigree piece and contribute to the wanderers. Unfortunately with the timing, I've hung on to the piece for about a month due to all of the holiday madness. That being said, the silver charm has been on my desk that whole time within reach and sight.

Every day or so when I sit down for work, it's been right there. I like to pick it up and roll it around in my hand. It's a lot to look at up close, so I made sure to take some macro pictures that display that well.
​
I am a maker of jewelry as well, so when I look at other jewelry I try to deconstruct and then reconstruct the elements of how it was put together. This is the type of handmade craft that is dying to technology, but also dying from a lack of knowledge and dumbed down versions. I see people say the word “filigree” a lot lately, and it has nothing to do with the actual manipulation of fine wire and metal. Which is exactly what this piece is. Without carrying on these kinds of traditions and teaching the next generation the real meaning of “filigree” can be lost. The real technique is beautiful, delicate, and tactile and is not something that can be 3D printed
