Victoria Moore

Victoria Moore is a true creator when it comes to her jewelry. Specializing in Damascus steel, Victoria builds her works of art through pattern welding - a mechanical process in which multiple metals are layered upon each other, forged, folded, and reheated repeatedly. Through this process, Moore is able to use creative patterning techniques with the steel to make one of a kind pieces. According to Moore, "The movement of the patterned line within each forged piece is important to the development of each shape. Gold and diamonds highlight the movement of the line."

Moore received a B.A. in sculpture from the University of Maryland and an MFA in metal smithing from the Rochester Institute of Technology. She uses her extensive training and background in metal working to hand craft each piece that comes out of her studio.
