Our studio is the heart of Sneaky Bird. It's where all the magic happens. We control the entire jewelry making process in-house from start to finish every step of the way, which enables us to produce consistently high quality, durable pieces.
We start by brainstorming the first designs and sketching them on paper; then we move to hand carving in hard wax and starting to bring these initial designs to life.
We strive to design specifically trend-less pieces that are eternally in style. At Sneaky Bird we believe jewelry is wearable art, not made for fast fashion or fleeting trends.
From there we start the casting process of turning these wax figures into metal. We use the traditional method of lost wax casting which has been used by jewelers for at least 6,000 years. This method ensure the high quality results we personally guarantee. It involves creating a mold, melting the metal we intend to use and then baking it in a special oven at temperatures between 800 and 1200 degrees Farenheit for up to 10 hours.
Sneaky Bird creates our own signature blends of 925 silver and 14k or 18k gold right here in the studio.
We solder, stone-set, resize, polish and do all jewelry detailing right here in the studio.
We make small-batches of jewelry and everything is made to order to minimize waste. We are anti-fast fashion and overconsumption. By creating investment pieces that last a lifetime we decrease the need of buying replacement jewelry, thereby minimizing consumption.
Our mission is to create modern heirloom pieces by using sustainably sourced raw materials and the skills of our professional artisans to ensure an ageless jewelry piece.
