Artist Highlight

An expert goldsmith and jeweler, Skip White was one of the earliest of the artisans and craftspersons who made a living selling their work at outdoor festivals when the trend became popular in the late 70s and early 80s.

Beginning in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, he did his very first art shows as a leathersmith, accenting his hard-tooled leather purses and briefcases with gemstones he set in silver.

In the mid-1980s he made the switch exclusively to jewelry-making and has never looked back. He began expanding his line to include a great variety of both precious and semi-precious gemstones. In 1995, Skip and his wife, Moonstone White, moved to Navarre, Florida. Today, Skip makes fine gemstone jewelry using 14K gold and sterling silver, using both construction and lost-wax methods.

Skip exhibits at juried fine art festivals throughout the year and has won dozens of awards over the years.
