Silver discs with gold keum-boo

Materials: sterling silver, 24k gold

Originally from Sweden, Carolina Andersson studied jewelry making in Italy and continued her journey in Seattle. Her work is created from sterling silver (often oxidized) and keum-boo, a Korean technique for fusing a thin layer of gold to silver. Of making jewelry by hand, Carolina says, “Doing every step of the process by hand gives me a sense of connection with the places and the people that have practiced this art and handed down their techniques through time.”
