New Necklaces.
This is the last two necklaces of my first five models. The first one is "Sunshine" and the last one is "Titan" With the sunshine necklace I have tried to make the necklace simple and elegant to match the "shiny" and more traditional look. The "Titan" is a more rough "unpolished" look. Kind of a "straight out of the metalshop" look.

About
My name is Lisa Hedvig, and I am a citizen of Denmark.I have chosen to work with titanium because of it's fascinating qualities, that makes it a very interesting material for jewelry. I make jewelry that has a classic note combined with the more modern treatment of material.
Titanium is a very light weight material, only half as heavy as silver, but is even stronger than steel. That widens the range of creative possibility. Furthermore it is very comfortable to wear as one hardly feels the weight of it. Titanium even has the ability of feeling warm against the skin, as opposed to other metals.
Titanium is a pure metal and therefore "non-allergenic". It comes in different alloys for different grades of strength. In addition it is also 100% stain resistant or stainless.
What makes titanium so fascinating besides what has already been described, is the ability to obtain different colours through either heat treatment or an anodizing process.
The colours is created on the surface of the metal, and range in colours from golden, bronze, purple blue pink and green.
I choose to only heat treat the titanium by using a torch. The heat also serves to strengthen the metal even further, and makes the colour more wear resistant.
All the jewelry is made by hand, using manual machines and hand tools. I make everything myself, except for the clasps and earstuds.

"Midnight"
This model I call "Midnight". It is all titanium, including the lock on the bracelet and the studs on the earrings. The stars are beadblasted, to give the colours a darker look.
