Gerhard Herbst jewelry is all handmade one piece at a time, forging with anticlastic raising to create dimension and volume in each design. He hammers the material, stretching and compressing the metals (sterling or gold) to a very high temper. The result is jewelry of superior quality that is durable, FLEXIBLE and STRONG. This means you can bend your earring to put it on and remove, no fear that it would break, instead it flexes back into its shapely design. Made in Southern California.
