Selene ~ Etched Silver

Selene highlights expressive line and organic shape. Compositions of this jewelry line are inspired by the sinuous curves of Art Nouveau. This “New Art”, which hit its climax in the early 1900s is known for the beautiful jewelry that was produced by the avant-garde artists of the time. Pieces come both highly polished, and antiqued, which forms a contrasting black line.

Metalsmithing techniques in this line focus on etching. The process is similar to the one used by printmakers. Flat sterling silver sheet is coated with a resist which is removed with a scribing tool. It is then placed in an acid bath where the design is eaten away. The result is a surface embedded with a design which is formed into jewelry.

Ophelia ~ Cast Silver

Ophelia captures the brilliance of polished sterling silver. Compositions focus on simple geometric and organic shapes. Because the rippled flowing pattern is naturally cast into the metal, complexity is kept to a minimum to better highlight the fluid strata of the casting technique. High polish creates elegance and chic refinement for the fashion savvy. High quality craftsmanship creates pieces that are petite and feminine, with classic modern beauty.

The Ophelia line is formed by casting into cuttlefish. Cuttlefish is a salt-water invertebrate that can be harvested simply by walking along the beach where they wash up on the shoreline. These soft bones can then be carved and cast into. Because this was once a living part of the sea, there is a very unique surface pattern that is created. These high-polished pieces are reminiscent of the gentle waves lapping against the beautiful beaches of the Great Lakes.

Brenna ~ Carved Wood

Brenna focuses on the natural beauty of various domestic and exotic hardwoods. Exotic hardwoods have become refined fashion trend icons. Brenna combines the modern luxe of the big city with the whimsical, natural style of free-spirited culture. Popular among Hipster and Bohemian fashion trends, wooden jewelry appeals to the eco-friendly and environmentally conscious.

The primary woodworking technique for Brenna is hand carving. With so many different kinds of woods, and so many different colors and grain patterns, each piece is designed with special care to show its unique luster. Bold, chunky designs are formed using simple geometric shapes, accented with curved line. Then it’s just polish, polish, polish, until the natural beauty of the wood glows. All wooden jewelry is sealed for durability and water resistance.

Arianna ~ Pierced Metal

Arianna, like Selene, is inspired by the curved line of Art Nouveau. This line of jewelry is given a modern edge by incorporating motifs of Abstract Minimalism. Designs are based on real objects with complex structures which are simplified down to a few edgy and/or elegant curves and swirls. Designs will be inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world, unless a theme is specified. Arianna can be formed into a countless variety of objects, shapes, and even text.

The Arianna line uses the metalsmithing technique called piercing. The creation involves each line being cut into the metal using a jeweler’s saw with a very fine blade, and each piece is formed with the utmost care and precision. Arianna is formed only in high-quality metals* (Copper, Bronze, Brass, and Nickel Silver) and pieces are sometimes lacquered with trending fashion colors.

*This line can also be ordered in Sterling Silver for an additional fee.

Rosemary ~ Fashion Scarves

Rosemary is composed of women’s handmade artisan scarves. Following the latest designer fashion trends, colors, and styles, the Rosemary line features cozy fabrics with a glamorous edge. Popular designs are implemented using sewing techniques such as draping, ruffles, ruched fabrics, layers, and fringes.

Using the neck as a canvas to highlight the female form, designs are crafted to spill down from the collar and accentuate fashion and femininity. Fabrics are specifically chosen by hand for lightweight softness, appealing to this delicate bit of skin, and represent current fashion trends and colors.

Jack & Jill is made from high quality cotton flannel. Design elements will include frayed edges, simple accents, and layers. Variations will include lighter and heavier fabrics, solid colors, stripes, plaids, and trending prints. Flannel also comes in a wide variety of novelty prints, from rock n’ roll to French cafe. Please include requests for novelty themes on the order form or by contacting KaSt Jewelry when the order is placed.

Jack & Jill ~ Unisex Flannel

Jack & Jill is a unisex scarf line focusing on functional, casual fashion. From the great outdoors, to the urban jungle, these scarves will be a practical and fashionable addition to any outfit. Warm, cozy, and soft, these flannels will be appreciated anytime there is a brisk breeze in the air, or a little pop of color is needed to accent that cold weather outfit. Choose between infinity cowls, traditional scarves, or a mix.
