Ancient goldsmiths practiced techniques of gold granulation, woven metal chains, filigree and cloisonné enameling. By faithfully employing the same techniques, Nancy produces highly individualized pieces. Nancy's process of stone selection and metal work respects the origin of this craft, which began with the Etruscans in the first millennium b.c.e. These goldsmithing traditions are nearly as old as history itself.
By the first millennium BC, jewelry already had a long tradition behind it which speaks to our need for self-adornment and is one of the oldest forms of decorative art. Nancy troske feels a strong connection with goldsmiths from antiquity and by working in their materials and techniques, there’s a sense of continuity, shared tradition and love for meticulous craftsmanship.
Exceeded my expectations! I was looking for a 22 Karat gold band as a wedding band for my fiancé. He wanted something with substantial weight as well as hand-crafted. After an exhaustive search, we found Nancy! She became our partner in this process, taking the time to understand what we wanted as an end product.
Nancy is a perfectionist—-and that resulted in an absolutely perfect band. Working with her was a pleasure and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The gold is has a distinctive “peach” color and stands out as something exceptional on his hand.
We love it!
