Ornamental ironwork in the deep South reflected the influence of blacksmiths, through time, forging folk art into gates, balconies, and grilles. The pieces in this sterling silver collection are reminiscent of that ironwork. The intricate scroll designs are a tribute to the skill of artisians in the past who wrought beauty from the iron in their forges. These clean, distinct lines show as well in jewelry as they did in the decorative ironwork of the South from the 18th and 19th centuries. Styles in the collection are the highest quality and have a connection with tradition and culture. They are a timeless keepsake and a wonderful gift that can be passed from one generation to the next.
