After spending years as a goldsmith and soak in the beauty of metalwork artist Benjamin Werner quit his job back to start something new.
Endlessly fascinated by the contrast between the wood and the precious metal, he created a line of beautiful jewelry called "Aurea Silva." In the words of the artist, the name is "of handmade jewelry, great attention to detail, and the seamless combination of wood and metal." His fusion of rustic and refined elements gives undeniably elegant results.
Werner spent countless hours studying the functionality of wood until he knew how he would behave in different contexts.

"All the wood used in jewelry Silva Aurea 'has been stabilized (empty soaked in resin and hardened) to make it more sustainable," he wrote.

Werner's also smart when it comes to investment. In this cycle, for example, instead of wrapping a piece of wood all around it divided into three distinct parts to avoid unnecessary tension to wreak havoc on the part.

This stabilization process wood also lends a glossy finish that looks great alongside her elegant, metallic counterpart.

The contrast between the wood and the metal could have easily entered the discordant territory but focusing on texture and function, Werner managed to create a sense of harmony.
