THE 25 FOR 25 COLLECTION

Forge a link in your family’s story with one of my unique numbered pieces produced specially for my 25th anniversary. Hand made in Wales in Sterling silver.

– Rauni Higson –

 

Our most treasured moments – births and marriages, anniversaries and accomplishments – stand out like rocks in the river of our lives, precious peaks that give shape and meaning to our time on earth.

But the river of time is swift and relentless, and it’s all too easy for those pivotal moments to be subsumed, leaving only faded photographs and hazy memories. So, how do you capture a moment in the river of time?

Give yourself an eternally beautiful way to treasure your memories.

25 for 25

I am celebrating my silver anniversary, 25 years of following my vocation, by creating 25 unique, numbered boxes inspired by the rivers of Snowdonia. A quarter century ago, I made my first object, I began my adventures in metalsmithing making a simple copper box, and I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned since then into these small treasures.

These small treasures may be heirlooms to be treasured by people a hundred years from now, but they also support knowledge and skills passed hand to hand down the centuries. They are a tangible link in the unbroken chain of skills transferred from smith to smith, from the Bronze Age to now and into the future.
