Melon Ball Earrings - 22K and Diamond - Nancy Troske Jewelry

THE ARTISTRY

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.

THE ORIGINS

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.
