I met this artist several years back at an art fair in Madison, WI. I was there with my boyfriend, and we bought the pendant on the top. A year later, we saw him at a different art fair and I bought the earrings. We got to have a beer with him and he turned out to be a really great guy- he studied the same Martial Art style that Seth does- Shorin Ryu.
Seth wears his necklace every day. He’s not a jewelry guy, wasn’t then and still isn’t- but he put it on the day he got it and just never took it off.
I just love it- both of them, though the earrings only see daylight on special occasions- they are just so sculptural and deep, so constructed- they feel like the design has been genuinely thought out.
That’s something you never get with standard easy-to-get mall jewelry. It doesn’t feel like it’s been handled, you know? Hand made will always top the charts, imho
One of my favorite places in Milwaukee. Lake Park- designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, natch.
