STEPHEN DWECK

Stephen Dweck is obsessed with nature. Yet his work is oxymoronic. On the one hand he depicts things like flowers, and leaves, and fairy like motifs. He uses stones with a gentle pallor and cut. On the other hand, his work is bold. His stones are huge, and aside from being polished are generally left in their original rough shapes. His metal smithing is bold and hefty. In this manner, Dweck makes a very original statement. He really shows off the "rock" element of his gems. Definitely jewelry for a woman who knows how to make a statement.





 This designer doesn't stay in the shadows of his luxury brand studio either. Like his work, he takes society by storm. His jewelry is shown in numerous TV shows and movies including gossip girl and sex in the city 2. He is truly a jeweler for the stars. He has also designed for famous ads, including a beautiful martini glass for a Bacardi ad. He has been featured in many runway fashion collections as well, including Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, and Escada.

His passion for all things natural leads him around the world to collect beautiful and exotic semiprecious gems, which he turns into his stunning One Of A Kind pieces. Each one is adorned with Adam, a japanese beetle, usually cast in any kind of metal Stephen can get his hands on.

His pieces are designed as an homage to the beautiful world around him. He doesn't impose his cut onto nature's precious gems and squash them into forms familiar to everyone. He leaves their natural beauty alone, and only helps it along by polishing it up. A true lover of stones should really consider supporting his work.
