Precisely Natural

My awareness of nature’s inherent beauty teamed with my artistic knowledge and skills fuels my passion to create. I believe in the early arts and crafts philosophy that craft-makers should use materials that are local and familiar to them. And so, when I leave the trout stream, my pockets are often filled with such treasures as river stones and twigs. Back at my studio, these materials come together with precious metals and gems to form designs that I love.

Custom Work

“Creating custom work has been a vital part of my business for over a decade. Designs that come from the interaction between artist and client are designs that could come no other way.”

Custom work begins with communication. This first step is the most vital part of any project. Following intitail contact I generally get right to determining the budget for the job and do my best to give a ball park figure. Generally speaking, custom work begins with a design for which I charge between $50 and $100 per hour to create.

Some of my custom work has been the most exciting projects I’ve ever finished!

About Jason

My appreciation for all that nature has to offer began in my early childhood. I grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

I learned to hunt and fish from my dad, which furthered my love for the outdoors. When I began creating jewelry during my years in high school, my first piece was a necklace of shark’s tooth, bone, hand carved beads, and leather. I never took the necklace off and friends soon expressed interest in my work. As the years passed, creating jewelry was always on my mind, and I enrolled in the Haywood Community College- Professional Crafts Jewelry Program.Two years later, I graduated with honors and distinction.

My dream was taking shape. My awareness of nature’s inherent beauty teamed with my new artistic knowledge and skills fueled my passion to create. I believe in the early arts and crafts philosophy that craft- makers should use materials that are local and familiar to them. And so, when I leave a trout stream, my pockets are often filled with such treasures as river stones and twigs. Back at my studio, these materials come together with precious metals and gems to form designs that I love, designs that are Precisely Natural.
