“My nature scenes are not merely adornment, they are statements engaging the viewer/ wearer to be a steward of our natural world.” -Wolgang Vaatz. Having a background as painter and sculptor, Wolfgang takes an unconventional approach. He creates his scenes by melting and fusing precious metals. With great care he chooses natural gold flakes and nuggets specifically for the art work. This unrefined placer gold is environmentally friendly. It is obtained directly from prospectors in the US who pan with minimal environmental impact.
