Hephaestus Art & Jewelry

As a child, I apprenticed for a master gold-smith and talented artist in New Jersey for 12 years. During my youth I was fascinated by collecting stones and gems. This passion leads me in my career for the past 31 years.
The earth has given us a bounty of beautiful precious gemstones and metals to cut and forge. I use these elements to create uniquely inspired designs which last a life time.
Today my business is primarily focused on producing one-of-a-kind designs for the gallery as well as custom works to meet my client’s needs. The jewelry is created in a studio which is filled with highly skilled technicians from the jewelry industry. These jewelry artists are responsible for bringing my design concepts to the completed piece of art.
Men’s jewelry has become an enormous boom industry. Men are getting away from the simple wedding bands and becoming more contemporary in their jewelry purchasing. White metals such as platinum, steel, titanium in conjunction with gold are the norm these days. Pendants made of black diamonds, south sea pearls and dog tags hung on black steel cord are hot hot hot.
A myriad of design style, stone type and various other components come together in style & sophistication are available in all price ranges to fit everyone’s taste and budget.
