Lost Apostle, The Cure for the Common Gold...
Life's a journey, no mistaking that. The whistle-stop tour. The all-inclusive no-brainer. The plod. The First Class, high-flying, jet-setting 5 star whirlwind.
And then there's the scenic route.
Lost Apostle, take a bow.
Both independently and as a team, Nadya and James - the married couple behind Lost Apostle - have trod the path less travelled, torn up rule books and given conformity a right old pair of adversaries. Lost Apostle jewelry is a reflection of this approach to life, and those smiles are heartfelt - it's fun looking Goliath in the eye in and telling him his flies are undone.
Every piece of Lost Apostle jewelry is made entirely by hand, and our logo on all our jewelry is your guarantee that our very best has gone into everything we make. James' skill as a trained silversmith and Nadya's background in the Fine Arts lend a detail to their bronzes that challenges the bounds of what jewelry can be, and detail for Lost Apostle is everything. From the tiny feathers in an angel wing pendant to the anatomical accuracy of their hearts and skulls - making something to the best of their abilities creates jewelry that can be worn and enjoyed in the knowledge that 110% has been poured into it.
Re-invigorating a 6,000 year old method called the Lost Wax process, each piece of Lost Apostle jewelry is a little reminder that although our time may be fleeting on this mortal coil, bronze has been - and will be - around for millennia. Just as the beautiful 1,500 year old bronze bracelet that James un-earthed in Cambodia may have been worn by an ancient Khmer king, so might a Lost Apostle skull be rediscovered many generations from now, every bit as splendid as the day it was first worn. Bronze is a beautiful metal to work with - strong, enduring, resonant. Your Lost Apostle jewelry will stand the test of time and they'll be fighting over it when you're pushing up the daisies.
Nature, anatomy, the Space Between your Ears - they're all inspirations. Soak it all up, wring it all out, and see what you're left with. And it if looks good, cast it in bronze. At Lost Apostle, it's the behind-the-scenes stuff that inspires us as much as anything - the spiritual laundry on the the physical washing line. Other than that, we think skulls are badass. Let her rip, 'tater chip.
Lost Apostle. How it all began? It's a long story. It's a good one too. It involves market stalls, a bag of peanuts and Nadya-shaped targets before James even knew her name.
No plans for a bronze peanut though. Yet.
