Astor & Orion: Before the Metal - Live Jewelry Sculpting
About this Event
There is a moment in jewelry making that almost no one sees: the very beginning, when a designer's hand first gives a piece its shape. Watch Karen Hartman of Astor & Orion hand-sculpt a design live in 3D, pushing and pulling digital metal. Each curve is chosen for how the finished piece will catch the sun. Pick up the stylus and try it yourself. As jewelry asks what handcrafted means in 2026, see one designer's answer take shape, live. Shop the collection, plus archival styles sold nowhere else.
Astor & Orion's sculptural jewelry is a meditation on how surface catches light. Founded in 2019 by Seattle-based designer Karen Hartman, the work moves between realist forms and architectural geometry. Each design begins as a hand-sculpted 3D model and is cast in recycled metals with a casting partner audited under Sedex SMETA 4-Pillar for living wage, worker safety, and environmental standards.
