03 / About

Andrew Werner

I have been making jewelry since 2009. I design and hand-fabricate original pieces while continuing to explore new forms, materials, and techniques.

My work includes rings, bracelets, cuffs, pendants, and chains, as well as repair and restoration. I enjoy the precision and problem-solving involved in every stage, from shaping a sculptural cuff to setting a small stone or forming an individual wire link.
