But the long answer deserves some consideration. When you buy a piece of jewelry from Martrildonno Jewelry Designs, you're not paying for just the metal content of the piece.
Silver is relatively inexpensive.
But what you're really paying for is all the work that goes in after it comes out of the casting process. Some jewelers use a much faster and less labor intense tumbling process, which is fine for commercial jewelry, but lacks the scrutiny needed to created a custom work. We meticulously hand polish each piece. We finds that certain areas in a piece need high polishing and others need a brushed finish so that the patina will bring out the definition and detail in his jewelry. Each piece is checked for imperfections and to be sure that no detail is lost.
