Joseph Ramsay artist statement:

Joseph W Ramsay began designing jewelry at age 15 years in a wax-carving class. Invigorated by the tactility and fluidity of the medium, he took inspiration heavily from species biodiversity that had always fascinated him. After exposure to world class renderings and gouaches, he left carving behind to focus on design, honing his appreciation for lesser-appreciated stones and original design.

 

Leen Heyne artist statement: 

The life of a Lenn Heyne jewel invariably starts with a single strip of precious metal. In his studio in Tilburg, located in the Dutch province of Brabant, Heyne places a passionate focus on the rich nature of this material. Each sweeping bend, twist, and turn is the result of a very balanced approach, achieved through manual dexterity and physically force. 

Born: 1986 - NIjmegen the Netherlands 

Only one of each gem-set piece is created- the stone and setting in combination are wholly unique.  Heyne's work is hand fabricated through a process he engineered over several years in which precious metal seemingly flows to support the gem and make it appear to float in the setting. A graceful approach that is incredibly strong, such as an elegant bridge.

A meticulous and persistent maker, Heyne is in constant evolution with his process, and has a mind that resists complacency.
