About the rooms
Annex shows jewellery the way a museum shows a small bronze: one object to a plinth, plenty of wall, and a label that says what it is and what it is made of.
Every piece here began as a form before it was a ring or a brooch. A torus, a dome, a cone, a knot, a wave. Some are worn; a few stay on the table.
Each is cast to order in its metal and finished by hand. Nothing is shown that we would not hang on the wall.
Questions
01Can I order from this page?
Not here. Annex is a sample store, made to show a store on the Vitrine template. The prices are real sample prices for each piece in its own metal, and nothing can be ordered.
02How is a piece made?
To order. It is cast in the metal on its label, finished by hand and checked before it leaves, usually within four weeks.
03Why are some pieces not jewellery?
Because the forms came first. The dome, the cone, the dish and the stopper are the same work at the scale of a table.
04Does a reticulated surface repeat?
No. The texture forms as the metal is heated, so no two pieces, and no two repairs, are alike.
