Toni Cavelti Master Jeweller I spent fifty years of my life making jewellery. I made jewellery for famous people but mainly for people such you and I. I enjoyed working with beautiful metals, gold and platinum and never lost my excitement creating a home for a rare, natural gemstone. I shared my knowledge with apprentices who taught me a few things in return. It was a good and creative part of my life... It ended in l999 when I sold my company to the venerable Gold and Silversmiths Henry Birks and Sons Inc., I was free to do other things. I had seen wire work by my good friend Bill Reid, I had seen a video of Alexander Calder struggling with wire and I was certainly aware that the great Picasso had tried his hand at it. Making things is my passion and it found a cause when my eyes set on a coil of construction wire and thus began my wire story. I made a complete turn around from costly and rare materials to wire, ordinary iron wire which will, given a chance, age with dignity. Toni Cavelti |
