Exceptional handwoven wire designs and gemstone Jewelry by Stoddard Designs.
Meet The Artist.
Always intrigued by nautical rope tying techniques, I have spent my career translating the artistry of 18th century sailors’ knots into beautiful jewelry. I work in precious metals including gold, Argentium silver, and gold-filled wire. My work is referred to as cold metal fusion for the lack of any soldering, casting, or molding. Each piece is made one at a time held together by weaving and binding, ensuring no two pieces will ever be the same. The gems I use are hand selected for their high quality and uniqueness. I make each piece at my home studio in Alabama. I am blessed to be a husband and father being surrounded by friends, family, and nature. If I’m not working on new designs you can find me fishing beautiful Lake Guntersville or watching Alabama football.
