Fred’s passion for Fine Art Jewelry was first ignited in high school, assisting with a casting. With the flame of the torch and the pour of molten metal he was captivated. When he was able to carve a wax and see a ring grace a hand, he knew that he had found an avenue for his creative vision.

Throughout college and specialty schools, Fred honed his vision and technical skills, branching out into the forming and shaping of metals. Whereas previously Fred’s jewelry was center-stone emphasized, his designs transitioned to showcase the structural shape of the metal as much as the precious stones he uses.

Fred has shown his Fine Art Jewelry in Galleries, Museums, and Universities from Hawaii to New Mexico.
