✰ tin work ✰

My jewelry designs are deliberately created in an asymmetrical and massive style, which defies the traditional polished look of gold and silver pieces. These pieces are made from tin, giving them a unique, authentic, and industrial appearance with organic details.

Thanks to the added silver, they are water-resistant and, with proper care, can last a lifetime. Tin has the advantage of not oxidizing, so it will maintain its beauty for a long time.

You can learn how to care for them by watching the video below or reading the "About - Jewelry Care" section. 

The process of tinning is a bit more complex, which is why it takes longer to create. Most designs need to be pre-modeled and allowed to dry for at least one day. After that, we can start applying the thermal tape and smoothing out any imperfections. We also need a liquid that ensures the tin adheres beautifully to the tape.

For tinning, I use a classic soldering iron and a variety of tips, which I switch depending on the design I'm working on. Once the piece is complete, it needs to be polished and smoothed, and if I find any imperfections that I don't like, we go back to the tinning stage. Finally, we apply an antioxidant to prevent the piece from oxidizing. After letting it dry, we wash it in clean water. It's ready to wear.
