My Jewelry is up on GILT!!!

Remnants of Los Angeles
A Surviving Trace

Joshua Spencer's debut Remnants of Los Angeles collection is a meditation on the found objects sublimated (or loaded) with a personal and collective history of a particular place. Conceptualized and hand-crafted in Downtown Los Angeles, Spencer works with world-class jewelers who have been rooted there for generations. Each high-grade silver piece is cast from a degrading mold, ensuring that it is one-of-a-kind, and then hand-plated with black rhodium and nickel. As the piece is worn and interacted with, the plating will naturally tarnish and gradually give way to the silver beneath--in effect, becoming more precious and personal.
