Korte Jewelry Designs

Korte Jewelry Designs I create one of a kind jewelry, using a combination of engraving and chasing/repousse. I love the process of bringing an image within the metal to the surface.

In 2017, I discovered chasing and repousse, an ancient forming and sculpting process using small tools and a hammer, and never looked back. I was lucky to study with two of the top chasing experts in the world, Liza Nechamkin and Davide Bigazzi, and am constantly looking for opportunities to learn more. This is a laborious technique, with thousands upon thousands of hammer strikes for each image,

but each piece is truly a labor of love. No machines, molds or stamps are used in the process, as each piece is created freehand from a flat sheet of sterling silver. Always striving to learn and better myself, I began a jewelry apprentice program through Jewellery Training Solutions in early 2020 and completed it in the fall of 2021. This program focuses on traditional jewelry-making and stone setting skills, and prepares one for a job in the commercial jewelry industry. I have also devoted much time to the study of engraving, and am enjoying incorporating this into my work as it allows me to use a similar sculpting process but on a very small scale.
