In ancient cultures, stelae (slabs of stone or wood inscribed with ornamental glyphs and graphics) were used to commemorate and demarcate. Ornamental and informative, a stela was the palette for ancient symbology and early writing. The latest collection from Son of a Sailor, STELA, references ancient inscriptions, glyphic writing, and language. Organic brass shapes are adorned with 14k gold-filled chain and gemstones, and transformed into modern, energetic adornments. The names of ancient egyptian queens are reverently used for each piece in the collection. Husband and wife designers William Knopp and Jessica Tata continue to draw on their fascination with the convergence of color, pattern, and geometry. Hand-forged and finished in their Austin, Texas studio, each piece is made with care and attention to detail.
