George Sawyer
In my work I achieve a harmony between form, surface pattern, and color. The explorations of the graphic and painterly qualities of color-patterned metal, and the technical challenges of producing sculptural objects from this material, continues to fascinate me.
My first years in jewelry were spent as a custom jewelry designer. I spent most of my time designing and building one-of-a-kind pieces for individuals, but my personal interest was in Japanese metalwork, especially the art of the sword. Thirty years ago, ancient Japanese
swordmaking techniques were unknown in the United States. It was then that I began to develop my own techniques to produce my signature patterned metalwork.
Today, while I use conventional metalworking techniques to produce many objects, patterned metalwork still holds my interest. I’m interested in using color and pattern in a more abstract, painterly way to create a form of art jewelry that rewards the observer with new discoveries and more pleasure the longer and the closer they look.

Stephen uses only the finest cut Gemstones and materials in his work. Metals such as Palladium white gold have lasting qualities that over time makes a difference in jewelry that has lasting value. Gemstones that are well cut keep their fire and brilliance long after the average gemstone becomes dull and mundane.
The staff at R. Grey Gallery Feel that Stephen’s work is not only some of the strongest work in the Gallery , but we feel his work ranks in the top jewelry design in the United States.
