From Paper to Precious Metal
The origami technique begins with thin sheets of rolled gold, softened and ready for shaping. Using tiny polished pliers, Adam and his team apply the same principles as modular origami and paper jewelry-making to create organic shapes and whimsical creatures. Some pieces require only eight to ten folds to complete, while others demand hundreds of bends and cutouts.
This dedication to craftsmanship means that every piece carries the signature of Adam’s artistry and is truly one of a kind.
What was once paper folding becomes a wearable art, bridging the gap between old and new, tradition and innovation, and classic and contemporary.
