High-impact yet effortlessly wearable, at once timeless and up-to-the-minute, easily stand-alone but perfectly layerable, Bash is a jewelry line that revels in contradictions. Founded in 2008 by Katy B. Ashmann, its Santa Fe-made designs have already earned international recognition for merging the inherent irregularities of organic materials with an uncompromising attention to construction and metal technique.
Bash is renowned for intuitive, often unexpected, combinations of exceptional materials. Aged leather is selected for its worn-in chic and incomparable suppleness. Vintage brass and Sterling silver contribute a decadent, old-world allure. Hand-wrought beading and exotic woods lend an earthy attitude. Outsized clasps are treated as integral compositional elements. Precise geometrics emphasize function and structure and provide contrast to the many variations of non-uniform materials used.
Although always evolving, Bash jewelry makes a consistent visual impact.
