Geoffrey Roth Features Steven Kretchmer Design Collection
|
|
The jewelry store Geoffrey Roth in Tlaquepaque is hosting a fabulous jewelry show with new pieces from the Steven Kretchmer Design collection throughout May. Steven Kretchmer has often been referred to as the most innovative designer to ever hit the jewelry scene. World renowned for his eighteen karat blue gold, purple gold, gold mokume gane, and other magical precious metals, he captured mysterious yet fundamental forces of nature and transformed them into timeless works of art. Steven’s signature Tension-Set jewelry has revolutionized fine jewelry designs. Kretchmer earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Michigan. During his career, Steven had received numerous awards for his continual success in extending the boundaries of fine jewelry design. He had also been granted a number of patents for precious metal product inventions and alloys, including Polarium, a permanently magnetic platinum alloy developed for a line of fine jewelry that exhibits amazing behaviors, including levitation. “I design future classics that become heirlooms…..precious pieces, created by rare techniques. I do not redo what has been done,” said Kretchmer. “I challenge myself to go beyond the aesthetic and functional design solutions when working with precious metals. My passion is to create pieces that contain wizardry, enchantment, and power that reunite us with our timeless imaginations. Craftsmanship and technique are necessary elements, but my love for the mystery of jewelry must always be apparent in my art.” On July 8, 2006, Steven Kretchmer died following a motorcycle accident. His daughter, Claudia Kretchmer, who is nearly finished with her Ph. D. in astrophysics, decided to take a break from her studies and to dedicate her time and energy to the company to insure that Steven’s legacy will continue. She had spent many hours with Steven in his studio and has an eye for design herself. Claudia brings a softer, more feminine line to the Steven Kretchmer Design jewelry collection. The fine jewelry will be featured at Geoffrey Roth Gallery through May 31. For more information call toll free 800-447-7684, locally 928-282-7756, or visit www.GeoffreyRothGallery.com. |
