I have been making jewelry off and on since I was a teenager. I learned fabrication and casting techniques at a young age from my high school art teacher. I still find it kind of incredible that she allowed 14- and 15- year olds to use torches.

While studying Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, I spent a lot of time in the light metals department. I continue to design and make special jewelry as gifts for my wife and friends. My wife convinced me that I should offer my work for sale because of the many compliments she received on my jewelry.

I create unique pieces inspired by the natural forms of blossoms, berries, and weathered beach pebbles. Hand-selected stones from India, Sri Lanka, and South America are combined in unexpected and delightful compositions of size, color, and scale. The result is clean, modern pieces that move gracefully with the wearer's body.

My Spring and Fall Collections, have received tremendous attention from the press. My work can be seen in ELLE Accessories, Lucky, InStyle, The New York Times and has been called in and photographed by Vogue, W, Bazaar, ELLE, French Vogue for future issues. Helen Mirren and Alicia Keyes were photographed wearing my pieces this summer.

Please visit the website often, as I am in the process of adding new work all the time. I would love to hear from you at info@russelljonesjewelry.com
