03 / About

Andrew Werner

I have practiced jewelry design and metalsmithing for more than seventeen years, creating original pieces from raw materials and continually exploring new forms, techniques, and materials.

My work includes rings, bracelets, cuffs, pendants, chains, repair, and restoration. The process demands precision at every scale, from shaping a sculptural cuff to setting a small stone or forming an individual wire link.
