Men’s Jewelry is on the Rise

by Christopher Duquet

How many gents out there find the world is a little lacking on a fair selection of masculine pieces? We decided it was time to make a change, and are excited to be coming out with some new pieces in the next few months. The first piece Christopher has dreamed up is truly a work of art.

It, in a way, was started as an idea of integrating a gents line into our already flourishing stained glass collection, as I see the piece grow however I’m getting the sense it will take on a life, and a collection, of its own. The goal was to create something new, something unexpected, something totally above and beyond anything we’ve seen in a very long time. With texture and form influenced by Asian art the piece has a very old world mystical feel, something a samurai might wear as an object of protection and spiritual connection. Make no mistake however – this ring is as modern as they come. The piece will be completed with a combination of computer technology and old world hand fabrication, recycled goods and an entirely new use for the sapphire crystals commonly used for watches. The photo below is only a taste of what’s to come, stick around for progress updates and more photos on the creation of this masterpiece.

We’re ready to raise the bar and make some interesting and yet functional art for men. It’s far past time to move on to cufflinks, lapel pins, every day rings, money clips, tie clips – who knows, maybe a belt buckle is even in our future.
