Alex Sepkus hand carves miniature works of art, employing a working microscope to attain the obsessive detail which identifies his collection. Never mimicked and impossible to stereotype, Alex’s designs seem entirely timeless and truly one of a kind. Part sculptor, part painter, part writer, Alex explains, “What I design a piece of jewelry, it is as if I am writing a book. Each design is a chapter, not in words but in shapes and textures. I make precious stones and cold metal speak.” Alex is also a fanatical and talented jeweler and engineer. He considers carefully how each piece will be worn, giving as much thought to the mechanics as to the design because jewelry is created to be worn. To Alex, the human being is an essential part of his design.
