Inaugural "Designers of Distinction" Select Silver
Where can a jewelry designer go with silver? To the farthest reaches of innovation and creativity.
Silver is infinitely designable. Drawn into filaments as fine as wire or cast into jewelry of bold, modern geometry, the inherent beauty and lustrous depth of silver makes everything possible.
No wonder “Designers of Distinction” choose silver to express their most exciting concepts.
I’m not a jewelry designer, I am a sculptor. While I’m known for my larger work, I have also carved in miniature for over thirty years. When my wife, Hillary found a trunk full of tiny soapstone carvings and suggested jewelry, we began casting them in gold and silver. The collection now includes pendants, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, cufflinks, and belt buckles.
Each piece of our original collection begins as a soapstone sculpture. We make a mold, the resulting wax is cast in gold or silver and hand-finished with a five-step polishing process. Stone becomes silver and gold, the alchemy of the SOMERS collection.
We are now expanding our uniquely handmade line with several individually handcrafted items. The construction of our squiggle belt and bracelet demand the sort of bench work which makes each piece a one-of-a-kind.
