According to Christopher, “the creativity is done in the metal all the way through, there is no casting involved.”
One unique aspect ol' handmade items is that no two pieces are exactly alike. This gives each piece the distinction of being a one of a kind creation.
Christopher’s workshop is in the same room as his showroom which gives customers an opportunity to watch him work. Each wavelength of a necklace is individually crafted and requires approximately 75 hammer blows, a process he calls “aggressively tedious.”
One of his best sellers is an earring he calls “orbit.” Definitely an innovative design, it's a matrix of circular rings within a ring and when worn it opens up into a three dimensional object. Christopher, a graduate of Concord High in Massachusetts, which happens to be the same school where Christa McAuliffe taught, had sent her a pair as a gift and that’s how he came up with the name orbit. Unfortunately she probably never got to see them, due to the tragic explosion of the Challenger.
The shop will be open when Christopher is working there and will be open officially every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11-7.
