The Meaning of Hammered Gold in My Handmade Jewellery

Hammered textures are a signature feature of SEHjewellery. The art of hammering gold is one of the simplest and most powerful techniques in jewellery making. But there’s so much more to it than just creating texture.

When I hammer gold, I’m not just adding a surface pattern — I’m creating something that’s personal, meaningful, and full of life. The texture symbolizes the marks that life leaves on us. Every hammer strike is a reminder that we are all shaped by our experiences, both the smooth and the rough.

The beauty of hammered gold is in its imperfections. Each piece of jewellery I make is subtly different, making every item unique. It’s a celebration of individuality, and I love knowing that when you wear one of my hammered pieces, it carries that personal touch.

I believe that these textures not only add beauty to the piece but also a sense of strength and resilience. It’s a design philosophy that reflects nature’s own beauty — the way rocks, trees, and water are shaped over time, yet remain timeless.
