Inspired by a fascination with ancient mythology and legends, Urban Sterling was created for the purpose of telling stories though the medium of precious metals. Pieces are divided up into chapters, each chapter is a unified entity, working with a common theme. An unhurried and discerning design ethos ensures that each piece is an clear expression of an artistic vision that will last for centuries to come. Whenever I begin work on a new piece, I consider both the form and the function. The form must represent the story or myth being conveyed, but without compromising the wearability or durability of the piece in question. This is where the unique challenge of story-telling in metal lies, a precise blend of art, engineering and narrative: to take a story, and turn it into a wearable expression of the owner.
