Vivasmith

Artisanally crafted contemporary fine jewelry displaying a combination of 24 karat gold and silver fused to mild steel accentuated with a dark blue heat patina. This mixture creates effervescent patterns and textures resembling swirling cosmos and evoking the shimmer of rippling waters. Vivasmith stands for the last names of its founders, Deborah Vivas and Melissa J. Smith. It means "forgers of life"—fitting for the couple, as one carves her way with metals, while the other facets her way with gemstones. They are both dedicated to sustainability in their studio and believe that playful and interesting jewelry does not need to sacrifice elegance or ethics.
