Dana Ašmane — A Story of Form and Texture in Silver

The jewellery crafted by artist Dana Ašmane is a beautiful symbiosis of artistry and craftsmanship, telling a story of growth and material exploration. The brand's journey began with initial experiments using polymer clay, but the recognition of the need for a higher, more enduring value prompted the move to precious metals.

Dana Ašmane has established herself as a silver (Ag 925) jewellery artist, whose work is dominated by the play of forms and expressive textures.

✨ The Creation Process and Technical Mastery

The artist’s studio is where the jewellery acquires its unique character through deep and diverse manual techniques. Every piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail:

• Casting and Polishing: The jewellery starts its life as raw metal, which is cast and then precisely polished.

• Textures: Hammering and drilling techniques are widely employed to give the silver an organic, irregular, and tactile texture. This is the most characteristic feature of the brand’s handwriting.

• The Colour Element: The artist is currently developing her skills in enamelling (hot enamel), which will gradually add an extra dimension of colour to the collections. The incorporation of gold (in small scale) is also being introduced to create subtle accents.

💎 Favourite Materials and Inspiration

Although silver is the predominant material, the designs are enriched by natural gemstones:

• Freshwater Pearls: Used to add classical elegance and a delicate interplay of light against the silver's texture.

• Amber: This material, which embodies natural warmth and a Baltic narrative, has become a surprising yet cherished addition to the collections.

Dana Ašmane creates jewellery in limited editions. By choosing this brand, you are acquiring not just a silver piece, but an individual, handcrafted work of art that gains even greater value and significance over time.
