Handcrafted using vintage Napkin Rings that were originally commissioned by ‘Konev Leather.’ Konev is very well known for their Jewellery boxes and leather bags, I have yet to find another set (made by them) like this! Even the display box was custom made.
They’re made with the Repousse technique, often favoured to replicate a french aesthetic. They’re a soft/matt ‘Gold’ tone.
I can’t be 100% sure on what they’re made of, but there are no stamps or hall-marks and they’re quite light weight.
They are most likely brass. They polish up
beautifully tho so make really striking jewellery pieces.
*Repoussé is a metalworking technique where a malleable metal is shaped from the reverse side using hammers and punches to create a raised design in relief on the front. This "pushed up" effect results in a three-dimensional, decorative pattern on the metal's surface, often used in jewelry, silverware, and large sculptures like the Statue of Liberty. The technique is frequently paired with chasing, where the design is refined and details are added from the front by hammering the metal inward, working in conjunction to add depth and character to the piece.
