The story of how Whitney Boin became recognized as an artist and a leader in the field is a tribute to his innate talent. Born in New Jersey to artistic parents, Whitney Boin began creating art in high school. He won several Scholastic Golden Keys Awards for jewelry design and sculpture, when he was just 17. He studied under Gary Griffen and Hans Christianson at the Rochester Institute of Technology's School for American Craftsmen, which at the time had the best metalworking program in the country.
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."
