Hunting for resources is an impulse woven deep into human history. Yet today, despite our growing awareness of the consequences of poaching, habitat destruction, pollution, and the countless irreversible harms inflicted upon the natural world, the extinction of many species still feels alarmingly inevitable. In the face of this reality, we choose to believe there is still something we can do.

A Natural History of Loss (ANHL) presents a series of ten antiquated animal skulls inspired by vulnerable species. Through a paradoxical form reminiscent of wall-mounted trophies, the collection invites the wearer and collector to look beyond aesthetics and reflect on the animals themselves, their fragility, and the conditions threatening their survival. More than adornment, these pieces are intended to spark conversations about conservation, coexistence, and humanity’s place within the ecosystem.

Cast in sterling silver, the skulls serve as poignant relics of what may one day remain of the wildlife we now take for granted. ANHL questions the necessity of humanity’s gradual annihilation of the natural world, while inviting others to participate in a shared consciousness toward preservation and awareness.

Limited to 25 pieces per design, ANHL was the collection that first began our silversmithing journey in 2011. At the time, sculpting and assembling such intricate forms without the tools and experience we possess today was immensely challenging. Years later, the collection continues to hold profound significance for us, remaining one of our most prized and defining works.
