Carved by hand, guided by years of practice, and finished with intention that can’t be replicated.
This collection features the work of Rich Lange, a carver with over 25 years of experience, whose practice is rooted in Coast Salish tradition and Cree lineage from Zagime Anishinabek.
Each piece carries more than form.
It reflects a relationship to material, to process, and to the knowledge held within the hands that shaped it.
Silver and copper are worked with purpose.
Not just to create, but to reveal.
To bring forward something that already exists within the material itself.
These are not mass-produced designs.
They are one-of-a-kind or limited pieces, each holding its own presence, its own weight, its own story.
This is a curated collection.
Chosen with intention.
Meant for those who value craftsmanship, meaning, and the kind of work that cannot be rushed or replicated.
To wear one is not just to own it,
but to carry the work of a lifetime.
