Cavin Richie grew up in Colorado surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. He moved to Washington State in 1970 and has lived near the sea ever since. Cavin's designs are a reflection of his surroundings. His line includes birds, mammals and amphibians, all accurately detailed. For the past thirty years he has carved with shed elk antler and woolly mammoth ivory. These carvings became the basis for his lost wax casting jewelry.
"Carving," says Cavin "is like touching antiquity. I feel a kinship with a long lineage of carvers dating back to the Pleistocene."
We are pleased to offer these wonderful designs in bronze, Sterling silver and 14 kt. gold.
The solid bronze lost wax castings are available in a number of designs. A patina complements the earthy metal, giving each piece a unique finish. The bronze earrings have hypoallergenic (gray niobium) hooks. The bronze pendants have an adjustable fabric cord.
Some of Cavin's designs are well suited to casting in silver and gold. Without the patinas used with the bronze castings, the jewelry still shows the incredible detail of Cavin's work.
All the jewelry is designed by Cavin Richie, cast in the US and hand finished here in Washington state.
