THE STUDIO

A jeweller's bench
in New York

Metal Nails began with a question a jeweller could not answer: why is

every other part of the hand allowed to wear precious metal, except

the nail?

The bench

Everything happens in one room in New York — patterns, shaping, filing, texturing, polishing, stamping. Nothing is sent out and nothing arrives finished.

The method

Hand fabrication, the way a bench jeweller has always worked — measured, shaped, filed, polished, checked against the pattern, and done again if it is not right.

The people

Trained bench jewelers, not nail technicians. The same hands that set a stone shape the profile on your nails.
