"Sequestered Dissertation" - 2.7"x2.0"

First collaborative effort with sAne of Freestyle Movement (FreestyleMovement.com). Several more to come ;)

sAne is a painter/designer/photographer/freestyle belly dancer/general all round mad genius currently based in Boulder. The entire design was sketched my sAne and altered and excuted by myself. I'm including some of his recent live paintings from Re:Generation up in case you've never seen his work :)

This buckle is the is the longest I have ever spent on a piece by far, 6 days, 12-15 hours a day. Future collabs will include other belt buckles (all goldsmithing?) and some more top secret fun ideas ;)

22k Red Gold, Sterling/Fine Silver
Tsavorite Garnet (Merlani Mine, Tanzania)
Spessartine Garnets (x4, Nigeria)
Trillion cut Spessartine Garnet facet (x3, Nigeria)
