Artist Highlight

In the 1970's, John's experimentation in fabricating objects in brass, copper, and silver led to jewelry set with Mexican opal and turquoise. By the 80's, John had progressed into working with gold and platinum, while advancing his stone setting techniques to facilitate any design challenge his imagination could produce.

JohnChristine Designs was “born” in 1988, the year they were married. Christine's background in sales and marketing of fashion clothing, along with her business organizational skills are the perfect complement to John's artistry. Our creations primarily employ wax sculpting and casting to achieve designs that range from contemporary, geometric patterns, to soft, sensuous, organic forms. Gemstones used in our designs are meticulously selected for their fine color, unusual cut, and uniqueness of material. We are intrigued by custom cut gems, particularly those of European cutters, for the unique design challenge that they represent.
