Kristin Anderson
Kristin works with Champleve Vitreous Enamels in 18K Gold and Sterling silver, often accompanied by gemstone accents. The champleve technique allows for greater variation in the width of lines or areas of metal in the surface of the enamel. Combining areas of reflective metal with glowing enamel colors gives effects of illusionistic depth unique to this medium. Her unique work is recognized worldwide.
James Binnion
James has worked in Mokume Gane for over 20 years developing his technique and designs. Mokume translates from Japanese as "wood eye" which refers to burl wood grain and gane means "metal". Today mokume refers to any pattern made in this Japanese lamination technique. After extensive research on mokume and metallurgy, he developed his own method for making mokume. Your ring will be custom made for you with its own individual pattern. You can trust that your ring will be designed and hand crafted by a master craftsman with close attention to detail.
Cheena Chandra
Born in India and raised in the United States, Cheena’s love affair with jewelry began as a child. As a precocious and inquisitive youngster, Cheena spent countless hours with her family jeweler to observe his master artistry and craftsmanship in creating her mother’s beautiful and ornate jewelry. In 2002, while visiting family in India, Cheena took a ride in a rickshaw through the small passageways of Jaipur to work with and learn from a highly regarded and exclusive stone supplier to hand select the gems for her whimsical designs. Influenced by her international upbringing and strong connection to her Indian heritage, Cheena concentrates on creating upscale, fine jewelry with a modern, feminine style that retains a sense of classic appeal and exotic flare.

Hanna Cook-Wallace
Hanna Cook-Wallace came naturally to her profession. "I was one of those kids who hung out at the local rock shop after school," she recalls. "I call it the 'Magpie factor'--the color and sparkle of gems and minerals has always fascinated me."
Hanna's interest led naturally to formal gemological training at home and abroad. In addition to study through the Gemological Institute of America, she is a graduate of the Educational Gemstone Centre Hattgenstein in Germany, with a certificate in practical and advanced gemology. Hanna loves to work with the vast collection of gems she has gathered over the years, making one of a kind pieces with natural curves and bold presence.
Paula Crevoshay
Paula Crevoshay launched her first collection of one-of-a-kind art jewels in 1981. Her awards and achievements took her, as a jeweler, very quickly to the fore front of modern design. Combining the disciplines of fine art, gemology and history with jewelry making transformed Crevoshay into a fresh, unique talent.
In recent years she has gained renown as one of the leading designers of our time. Her work has been shown at such museums as the Smithsonian and the Carnegie, among others, as an exemplar of the very best, and it can be found in many important public and private collections.
Tom Dailing
With over 50 professional designing awards, the creations of Thomas Dailing Designs regularly grace the pages of major jewelry magazines. They typically showcase concave faceted gems by Richard Homer. Thomas Dailing Designs are contemporary classics, delicately balanced with dramatic artistry and a strong sense of engineering. By continually pioneering new techniques, Thomas Dailing Designs brings its unique vision to the jewelry world.
Fred Fenster
Fred's work ranges from jewelry to holloware and flatware, to liturgical objects. He is at ease with gold but works more often in sterling or pewter. Recently retired after 43 years of teaching at UW Madison, Fred shaped several generations of American metalsmiths to approach their work with professionalism and skill. Fred is very active on the workshop circuit, usually teaching holloware or pewter techniques. Several examples of his pewter vessels are featured at Studio Jewelers.
Hannelore Gabriel
Hannelore Gabriel was born in Germany where she received her training in jewelry fabrication and stone cutting. She currently lives in Colorado. She works in 18 karat yellow gold, and is famous for popularizing unmatched chandelier earrings. She will work with clients on custom designs. Gabriel is also a respected anthropologist who has traveled extensively in Asia. She is author of the definitive book The Jewelry of Nepal.
Alan Giovannetti
Alan's work always makes a bold statement while never compromising on comfort or beauty. Working in sterling silver, 18K yellow gold, with unusual stones or no stones at all, these works always turn heads. Large and sculptural, we often refer to them as "rock star rings", in homage to both their stage presence and Alan's past clientele.
Audrey Handler
Eleanor Moty
Dmitriy Pavlov
Julie Rauschenberger
Clearly playing both sides against the middle, Julie consciously faces the challenge of bridging old and new. We see 22k gold – generally associated with ancient jewelry – carved into contemporary abstract shapes. Channel-set diamonds, a staple of modern jewelry, oppose perfect patterns of granulation.
Whitney Robinson
Alex Sepkus
Alex Sepkus is a fanatic. The intelligence he applies to his work is far beyond the standard requirements of a jeweler. This obsessive approach would normally suggest an absence of humour. Instead, we see in Alex‘s work an irresistible playfulness, even a quirkiness, unrivalled in the world of the goldsmith.
