Steven Kretchmer's sophisticated and masculine bands are perfect for celebrating everlasting partnership.
Each extraordinary Steven Kretchmer, high end jewelry, setting is for the discerning and unique individual.
Jewelry designer and metalsmithing historian Steven Kretchmer isn't your typical designer. Yes, he holds formal degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Michigan, but Kretchmer's more enriching professional experiences have been laboriously gained through a series of personal quests and tutoring by great masters and metallurgical magicians.
More than any other jewelry designer, Steven Kretchmer seeks to understand the intrinsic role that ancient and modern metals have played in the development of civilization. He deduced that jewelry metalsmithing didn't have much to do with actual life and death situations and has remained in the slow lane, within the tradition of passing the same age-old techniques from father to son, master to apprentice. It's Kretchmer's opinion that jewelry design remained bound by the limitations of those techniques and the use of conventional precious alloys.
Kretchmer's desire to break old boundaries led him to study technique of Mokume Gane-- an ancient Japanese metal patterning technique meaning "wood-grain metal." Kretchmer's passion has led to unique and custom made precious metals, Mokume Gane jewelry, blue gold, and other exotic precious metals. At one point, he researched exotic gold for jewelry design mogul Harry Winston.
Kretchmer's achievements in developing new types of springy precious metals and alloys and in using them in innovative jewelry designs enabled only through their use are a recognized milestone in jewelry design and its contemporary history.
Steven Kretchmer's jewelry designs have won several awards including the 1992 personal award of New Designer of the Year by Jewelers of America. He is best known for his "tension setting" jewelry. This seemingly magical innovation uses no prong or bezel, just one long expanse of shank clasping the stone. This "tension setting" technique results in designs so elegant in their simplicity that they belie the complex processes that go into making them. |

Whitney Boin designs precious jewelry with his hands and his heart. Whitney Boin has a reputation as one of the most innovative and technically proficient jewelry designers in the world.

All contribute to the visual movement of the piece, which will capture the beauty and structure of the well-designed architecture."

At 20, Whitney Boin took a leave of absence, convinced his parents to invest the balance of his college tuition fund in platinum and diamonds, and created pieces to enter jewelry competitions. From that point on, his passion was to create pieces that presented something beyond the traditional stone in a setting. His ability to invent designs that were reminiscent of intriguing works of architecture and sculpture was immediately recognized. His diamond necklace won The 1978 Diamonds Today Award and brought him his first clients.
The 1982 Ridge Collection of earrings, bracelet, necklace and brooch won The Designer of the Year Award. Each major piece he designed that won an award became the cornerstone of a new collection. In 1985, Vertebrae was created after the Japan Pearl Society presented Boin the International Pearl Design Award for a pearl bracelet. The Post Collection was inspired when DeBeers presented the Diamonds of Distinction Award to Boin in 1988.
"My jewelry speaks softly of simple harmony and sophistication rather than screaming unusual. I think of my jewelry as new classics, elegant with strong character, enduring strength, and integrity."
-- Whitney Boin
Whitney Boin designs precious jewelry with his hands and his heart, and more than deserves his reputation as one of the most innovative and creative jewelry designers in the world. Say Whitney Boin, "Jewelry differs from sculpture as it is worn on the body, and the way it is worn gives the piece kinetic energy. The motion of the body is as important as the material, how the stones are set, and how the piece is polished. All contribute to the visual movement of the piece, which will capture the beauty and structure of the well-designed architecture."
Whitney Boin jewelry designs range from the tasteful gold wedding band to exquisite diamond necklaces. He designs for the discriminating woman who wants pieces that capture the beauty and structure fine jewelry. |
Individual Yuri Ichihashi necklaces and bracelets come to life through the painstaking manufacturing process, which is steeped in the ancient oriental art of silk weaving. Each component can be as thin as a silk thread, and is hand woven into gold braids, creating a wonderful sparkling effect. This effect is caused by the amazing fact that the strands, as thin as they are, are cut into never ending octagonal shape. The technique, used for her rings and earrings as well, create truly unique designer luxury jewelry that would complement any jewelry wardrobe. |
