Tess Young

Tess Young

I believe in a person's relationship to their jewelry. Our rings, our earrings, our necklaces and all pieces are quite literally attached to us, and in turn we become very emotionally connected to our jewelry. This is a charming and curious human behavior that I intend to satisfy and explore for the rest of my career. I hope you enjoy my work and can become as attached to it as I have.

From a gratifying process of play and exploration, Tiny Erica Jewelry by Erica Montejo was first born in early 2010 and over the past six years it has metamorphosed into a refined and playful body of work that often combines sleek clean lines with just the right amount of rough-and-tumbled texture to create a collection of jewelry that is minimal, organic, versatile, and enjoyable to wear.

Katherine Rudolph

Katherine Rudolph

Katherine Rudolph's jewelry is highly inspired by architectural forms.  Photos taken while traveling often serve as the origins of a design.  When looking to the skyline, she enjoys isolating specific buildings and deconstructing them with an interest in understanding their logic and order. Her paper models translate well into thin gauge sheet metal, which she is able to score and fold into crisp forms.

Vincent Hawley

Since 2002 Vincent has sought out the roots of one of jewelry’s most challenging and classic practices – engraving; specifically the art of Florentine Engraving. This art incorporates such integral detail that only the truly masterful hand can give it life. Using nothing but basic hand-tools, bulini or gravers, the art incorporates extremely complex open work patterns or Traforo.
