Silver Diamond SpaceEgg

The jewel of the dining room is a breathtaking culinary convergence of art, tabletop jewelry, and meticulous handcraft, from Austrian metalsmith David Wolke. Forming theone-of-a-kind rendition of his acclaimed SpaceEgg design is solid .925 sterling silver boasting hand-peened interior surfaces complemented by a ravishingly polished exterior encrusted with no fewer than 32 individual diamonds totaling 1.2 carats. In the words of the artist, “each diamond was carefully selected by eye, and heart, reclaimed from vintage pieces of European-made jewelry ensuring that no earth needed to be removed, and no subpar working conditions endured for their procurement.” Finishing touches include palladium coating followed by a full rhodium plating for enhanced sheen and durability. A talented designer, jeweler, and certified goldsmith, David has created heirloom objects intended to awe with their beauty, while encouraging conversation about the intersection of luxury goods, handcraft, art, and culture. From his caviar-inspired ROGEN collection of jewelry made from recycled gold, to The STURGEON, a forged champagne sabre and the mother of the ROGEN collection, to his work on the GoldVein Culinary project, his jewelry, and of course, the SpaceEgg’s elegant design, David is a force in today’s culinary art world.
