AMERICAN JEWELRY DESIGN COUNCIL PRESENTS:
TEMPEST
Born from sea-split air and thunder-torn skies, this project rises like relics of a storm. Jewels glimmer as shaken tides, metal bends with the patience of drowned masts. It will be an homage to upheaval—where chaos becomes craft, and ruin hardens into grace. Designed in reverence to Giorgione and the Gallerie dell'Accademia.

AJDC EDUCATION INITIATIVES
Being part of American Jewelry Design Council has given my work a stage and my ambition a scaffold.As a member, I’ve grown not just in reach, but in result — turning council into momentum, and momentum into meaningful growth.
CHRIS DAVIES • MEMBER SINCE 2015
THE YEARLY PROJECT Each year the group chooses a design theme for which members create one-of-kind pieces. The projects are for exhibition only and will not be sold. The projects are meant to stimulate both the artist and the viewer to think beyond common limits and elevate jewelry expression to the realm of art. The results are spectacular, with members employing the finest craftsmanship in precious and non-precious materials, as a painter would work from their palette of pigments.
