 SAPPHIRE COCKTAIL RING. 14K white gold ring with a 3.76 carat blue sapphire cut by Andy Gulij with .32 carats of G+ VS accent diamonds. Photo: www.matthewmeierphoto.com. |
DONE
Been recognized as a 2007 JCK Rising Star and 2007 JCK Show “Best new look
in men’s jewelry.” Also, actually feeding and housing myself with
my jewelry business.
DOING
Custom bridal and high-end one-off pieces mixed in with the modern-tribal men’s
silver line.
FIRST PIECE
Clamshell earrings with galvanized steel French wires. My mother has them; I made
them when I was five.
JEWELRY HEROES
Michael Good, Etienne Perret, Robert Lee Morris, Alexander Calder, and Steven
Kretchmer.
DESIGN SOURCES
Natural forms: waves, fractural geometry, and feminine beauty.
FAVORITE PART OF DOING
Being responsible for someone else’s most prized possession.
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
I really want a pattern lathe — like the ones Fabergé used to make
the pattern on his eggs before enamel. Someday it will be mine.
ON BENCH NOW
A mess! Oh, jewelry-wise: several dinosaur teeth awaiting inspiration for pendants,
a umber of waxes for new men’s rings in various stages of artists block,
three Damascus steel wedding bands, and a number of more traditional bridal rings.
All of them were seemingly due yesterday.
