Aureum Vitis: Hammered Helix Bracelet
- Description
This piece reinterprets the timeless elegance of molten gold through the raw poetry of metalwork. The Aureum Vitis Bracelet merges the organic irregularity of hand-hammered texture with a precision-twisted "vine" silhouette, evoking the interplay of chaos and refinement. The hammered surface, reminiscent of ancient armor or liquified metal frozen mid-flow, contrasts with the bracelet’s smooth, spiral-twist core—a nod to both Renaissance goldsmithing and the gnarled beauty of aged grapevines.
The hammered texture, painstakingly crafted using century-old chasing tools, mimics the imperfections of time-worn relics, while the twisted helix symbolizes resilience—the way nature (and humanity) bends but rarely breaks.
Each cuff begins as a molten pour, hammered for hours until its surface resembles rippling water, then twisted into its final form—a metaphor for life’s transformative pressures. To wear Aureum Vitis is to carry the weight of history and the lightness of rebirth.
