James Hemmel Contemporary Silver Jewelry

I have been a professional jewelry designer for thirty five years. I perform all facets of jewelry-making, including fabrication, casting and gemstone cutting. Although I specialize in sterling silver, I also work in 14kt gold and non-precious metals. The gem stones I choose often dictate my design direction. The design process is never ending. I get influence from all aspects of my life.

Also, I have instructed jewelry design and creation in several educational programs for over thirty years.
