Drawing upon his industrial design background, Stefan Gougherty creates jewelry that’s both a celebration and critique of human ingenuity. His previous career designing wearable technology informs his metalsmithing process– where practicality, ergonomics, manufacturability and more are synthesized to create highly functional yet unusual art-objects. Viewing jewelry as public art, these small sculptures are ‘on tour’ hitching a ride via their shine and sparkle, and your generous support! This collection of unique wearable objects is designed to turn heads and make people smile– lighthearted jewelry that does not take itself too seriously, yet obsessively engineered to serve cutting edge.
