O'Connell Studio Silver

Pieces made from old jewellery melted down and started again, and how it is done

Charleston In the club since 2025

  1. I make silver and gold jewellery at a bench in Charleston. Everything is forged, sawn and soldered at my bench, and I finish every piece by hand rather than tumbling it. I lose at least one small stone a week into the floorboards. You will find me at most studio nights, usually near the food.

  5. Everything I make is made at one bench in the French Quarter, from recycled silver and recycled gold. My page has the pieces in photographs, films of the bench, and the drawings behind each design.
