Using traditional techniques of the first, second, and third phase jewelers (1880-1940’s), Perry hand-extrudes silver wire, applies intricate stamp work, and uses files, chisels and appliqué to create complex designs on the surface of his pieces. His work could easily be celebrated as a revival of the elegant jewelry of the 1940’s with its meticulously hand fashioned art nouveau appeal. Shorty makes the majority of his own stamps and is a master of many techniques including: fabrication of beads and squash blossoms, tufa casting, repousse, twisted wire, drawn wire, and appliqué of silver ornamentation. He utilizes all of these methods to create intense works of art capturing fragile intricacies at a fascinating depth. The artist chooses to work with coin silver to construct his creations, melting down ‘Charles Barber’ (1890 to 1915) silver coins and casting them into ingots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallup Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49039173288178,"sku":"G01059","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/8725\/0589\/files\/144A5610.jpg?v=1775857058","url":"https:\/\/galluptrading.com\/products\/coin-silver-ring-by-perry-shorty-10-5","provider":"Gallup Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
