Necklace Half Plate Acid Gold and Black Sterling

SUPER ULTRA ACID GOLD. Brass substrate is electroplated with 18k gold and then submerged into a heavy acid bath. Once the initial deterioration occurs the surface is then burned to finalize the texturing. The resulting landscape is a natural occurrence. The concentration of the plating solution, air temperature and time in the acid bath all play integral roles in the final result.

BLACK STERLING. Black Sterling is a surface oxidation of sterling silver. This finish may fade over time, which can be considered an enhancement. Please note that Black Sterling tends to appear darker in photograph than in person.

Dimensions:

Parts of Four produces jewelries, objects, furnitures, and installations. With a background in sculptural processes, Parts of Four can be imagined as an invocation system of rituals and memories: human, animal, geological, stellar, and beyond. It is a meditation on form, material, and processes. Parts of Four jewelries are genderless and non-seasonal. The material is the substance. There is magic in the ability of material to hold history and power. Rather it is a dialogue, a spiritual dialogue born between our multiple histories. Creating magical objects is our goal: hard-edged solid industrialized shamanic-tools.
