Pierre at the work/shop
Pierre-Estienne designs and manufactures contemporary jewellery with an edge, combining precious metals with other media like wood and resin. He also specialises in hand engraving.
Most of his work is done by hand without the aid of electrical devices. As opposed to machine engraving, which only scratches metal, hand engraving cuts out the embellishment on precious metals producing quality that will last many lifetimes. The mastery of this art is growing extinct.
You can visit his work/shop at 59A Longstreet, Cape Town, call him on +27 762706372, or use the form on the right to get in touch.
