How we work

Silver Chalice in Colonial Style Silver Angel in Colonial Style

Each piece is guaranteed to be handmade with traditional tools as well as traditional manufacturing methods used by the Spanish Colonial Silversmiths in South America. Our master silversmith participates in each step of the manufacturing process to ensure the outstanding quality of our items. As a result you have an authentic unique piece of silver art

On the right you see the various parts of a Chalice. Each part is hand-hammered and hand-worked. Repoussé, Chasing and Engraving techniques are used. At the end the item is polished. A very time-consuming process which leads to an amazing piece of art. This particular Chalice needs approximately 40 work hours.

The angel above consists of four molds (casting). The silver parts are soldered together, sanded and polished. A laborious work that requires a high level of concentration.
