The collection offers pieces from small to bold and dynamic in necklaces, bracelets, cuffs, rings, and earrings. Each piece is handcrafted and may show slight variances adding to the intrinsic beauty.
The look is contemporary, bold, and feminine, yet timeless and classic. The craftsmanship, detail, and beauty are unmistakable.
The weaves that Lois utilizes have been resurrected from her global travels, which started when she was twenty-three years old.
One of her signature weaves is the 18th century continuous wire weave, hand woven from a single strand of silver.
Lois also revived the Three Link Weave made from figure eight links, and the Box Weave that dates back to the Second Century.
The most precious weave originates from the Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand … comprised of tiny jump rings woven like a textile, and so intricate that only about one inch per day can be hand-woven.
Adding a final decorative touch, Lois incorporates the techniques of Granulation and Cutout. Granulation dates back to 3000 BC and is combined with contemporary Scandinavian Filigree. Cutout is a hand carving technique going back to the stone-age and yields a look that is contemporary, bold and feminine.
LOIS HILL can be found in fine department stores and numerous specialty shops nationwide.
