Dunton Ellerkamp Owen Ring

Dunton Ellerkamp is a New York based jewelry brand founded by designer Owen Dunton Ellerkamp. Dunton Ellerkamp seeks to honor the heritage of the craft while finding new ways to interpret materials to create pieces that are intended to be worn everyday. The pieces are created to last many lifetimes — to be handed down and worn for generations. 

The jewellery is produced using the lost wax casting method. The jewels start as a block of wax and are hand carved in their Brooklyn studio. Casting artisans transform wax forms into solid metals — silver or gold. The Dunton Ellerkamp studio hand finishes each piece through a series of tumbling, sanding, and filing to achieve a unique textured skin on each piece.
