The jew­elry designer, who is know for his use of pure (24-karat) gold in his antiquity-inspired pieces, has now taken a shine to ster­ling sil­ver. The new designs are quin­tes­sen­tial Gurhan in fla­vor and approach; sil­ver is used both dark­ened and bright, either oxi­dized or rhodium-plated black (which gives the piece a gor­geous fin­ish), and mixed with pure gold. The jew­elry looks as if it was just found at an arche­o­log­i­cal dig, the warmth and tex­ture of the ham­mered metal is visu­ally sat­is­fy­ing but not too pre­cious.
