Eid Special Wedding Fashion 2014 Jewellery.

By Aamir Mannan.

Eid makes such intriguing forms as her Polka Dot bracelet, of sterling silver with patination, with the aid of "Thor," her 50-ton hydraulic press.

2" x 3" x 1".

"I often feel like I am ,conversing with the metal," Eid says. "It tells me what it would like to do, what is difficult, and what it absolutely refuses to do. My designs emerge from these dialogs that ask 'What if I...?' Taking those forks in the road gets the juices flowing and it gets really fun in the studio." Eid's idea of "fun" is corrugating a sheet of metal, then using "Thor," the 50-ton hydraulic press she named after the Norse thunder god, to squeeze out the Polka Dots bracelet or Convergences teapot. "Fun" is hammering out a yard-high copper eternal light for a synagogue and setting a one-carat diamond into a forged gold ring.
