According to DiSpagna, cold fusion isn't new but is an ancient technique.
Cold fusion goes back as far as the Phoenicians. Many call is wire wrapping today, but most wire wrapped jewelry is very simple and basic and I feel that label devalues what I do. Most people who get into this art don't know much of the history on it, some think it is a contemporary style of craft when in actuality it is an ancient art form that has been modernized. I love that I am able to assist in the evolution of the style. Now, cold fusion is very simple and basic as a name. Most fine jewelry has the element of heat involved, welding, soldering, designers heat up the metal to bend, shape and mold the metals, where as with cold fusion there is no heat aspect involved. The wire used is never heated, it is wrapped and bent around other pieces of wire, which brings the term cold fusion. My work also represents the fusion of the times we are in.
Azha is Pink/Blue Watermelon Tourmaline and Indicolite, both from Brazil, set in Fine and Sterling Silver. This piece measures 1.75" x 1" and is not for sale.
