Duke Klassen & LaDes Glanzer

Our work is sterling silver, sometimes combined with 14kt or 24kt gold or copper. All of our jewelry is fabricated, not cast. We use metal sheet or wire which we forge, bend, or pound into shapes which are silver-soldered to complete the finished piece. These techniques enable us to combine two or more metals into one piece, and also to make hollow forms, thus achieving sculptural volume without excessive weight.
