Patterns are the heart and soul of Les Loops jewelry. They’re not just designs; they're organic expressions that make each piece uniquely yours. We believe that special doesn’t always mean pricey, so our mission is to craft affordable jewelry with a distinctive character.
So, how do we weave these patterns into our silver? Two of our favorite methods are hammering and melting:
- Hammering: We're obsessed with hammers! Every trip is a hunt for new ones. Our workshop might seem intimidating to outsiders with all the hammers, but it’s the fun part of our process. Hammering forges captivating patterns and gives the silver a textured, one-of-a-kind look.
*Indeed lots of our pieces are done through hammering. Above shows the Hammered Signature Earrings.
*That's just part of our collection :)
- Melting:This is where the magic happens. We melt tiny pieces of metal and drip them onto the silver's surface. It’s a tricky process, requiring just the right temperature and careful control of the molten metal. But the results are worth it! The texture we create has a vintage vibe that’s perfect when combined with gold plating.

Other methods like sanding or chemical etching can also create fascinating patterns. We can’t wait to experiment with these techniques and unveil even more beautiful designs at Les Loops soon!
