Whilst chain is what she creates, she also engages with themes including connectivity, strength, flexibility and material relationships. Lucie’s relationship with her materials has enabled her to predict what they will do and how they will behave. She likes to push the material to its limits as it pushes her to her own. Lucie deliberately uses a low-tech approach to making – alloying gold, pouring ingots, drawing wire, which she uses for jewelry collections as well as sculptural objects.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/london-craft-week" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This piece is part of Sotheby's London Craft Week</a>.

Gold Hollow Curb Link Chain

It took him three months just to learn how to hold the tools correctly. He now makes his tools; it’s such a small industry, you either need to have them handed down to you or make them yourself. The technique Smith uses, "seal engraving," goes back to ancient times. A seal is always engraved in reverse and is much deeper than traditional two-dimensional hand-engraving with a third or fourth dimension added, which is deeper and finer and takes much more time to achieve. Traditionally the signet ring would bear the family crest and the ring would be stamped onto hot wax to seal important documents. Now, Castro uses his knowledge of engraving to create contemporary pieces and to experiment with European and Japanese engraving techniques, producing a cross-fertilization of styles and processes. Smith’s trademark is to engrave around the whole ring rather than just its top as is traditional.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/london-craft-week" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sotheby's London Craft Week</a>.

Now, Castro uses his knowledge of engraving to create contemporary pieces and to experiment with European and Japanese engraving techniques, producing a cross-fertilization of styles and processes. Smith’s trademark is to engrave around the whole ring rather than just its top as is traditional.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/london-craft-week" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sotheby's London Craft Week</a>.
