that it has been caring in its belly for millions of years. My

passion is to bring these gifts of the earth to life, doing justice to them and offering them to my collectors to enjoy for generations. I design using my love of color and the awe I feel when finding certain gems, creating textures and shapes that bring the whole vision into a unique piece of art. — Victor Velyan

C RAV I NG RAW A ND R EA L I am deeply inspired by my everyday surroundings and everyday interactions that shape, morph and mold my mind, influencing my heart. I love the simple beauty you see when you look a little closer at things. Take the raw diamond — each one has a unique character that cannot be recreated. I use raw diamonds in my designs because they give me the freedom to be completely unique, they challenge social perception and they open up the realm of possibility in design. — Todd Reed

D R E A M I N G I N T E C H N I C O LO R A fine piece of jewelry contains more art, happiness, hope, memories, love and humanity than any other tangible object on earth. However, most importantly great jewelry references the past, present and future. One should be able to see the roots and influences of the pieces that came before. That includes styles or successes that contributed to the piece one has chosen. I don’t wear jewelry but I worry about the future of jewelry. Ruby is my birthstone, I’ve always dreamed in technicolor and I keep an excellent organic garden. — Nicholas Varney

S U S TA I N A B LY C H I C I believe that integrity is vital to true beauty. Inspired by my travels around the globe to discover unique materials and artisanal craftsmanship, I combine my signature materials of fossilized walrus ivory, woolly mammoth and dinosaur bone to produce one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry that can be passed down for generations. Through these pieces, I hope to inspire environmental and cultural

awareness while celebrating slow design, sustainability

and the power to make a difference by providing clean water to developing communities. — Monique Péan

SPECTROLITE RING Spectrolite, white diamonds and 18k white gold

Monique selected spectrolite as it appears in the rough on her recent trip to Norway.

This Monica Bonvicini sculpture in Oslo serves as inspiration for her newest jewelry.

FIRST I DREAM THE WOMAN…

ELEMENTS NECKLACE

As an artist, I am constantly exploring the world around me, drawing influences from cultures, architecture, history,

Blue topaz, diamonds, silver and 24k gold

and art. But I am just as easily inspired by other pursuits, being a renaissance thinker, rock music aficionado, political junkie, mathematician, and lover of cooking. However when it comes to designing jewelry, my inspiration starts with the woman whom I imagine will wear the piece; “First I dream the woman, then I dream the jewelry.” — Gurhan

Fate brings a woman and my jewelry together.

ELEMENTS RING Blue topaz, diamonds, silver and 24k gold
