Different Seasons Jewelry

tools of the trade

Different Seasons Jewelry is collaborative jewelry and lapidary arts (gem cutting) studio. This family based business is extraordinary in their diversity of techniques, design styles and a remarkable broad range of skills within this group of artists. From the ground up, they build each piece with custom, one-of-a-kind gemstones cut or inlayed within their own lapidary studios by their lapidary/gemology expert Mark Anderson. Unique, intricate gem carvings are created by both Mark Anderson and Jessa’s mother Martha Borzoni. Each design is drawn by hand by their Jessa Anderson, with a final high quality art rendering of each piece being offered to custom clients. One-of-a-kind hand carved wax models (not molds!) are used for jewelry cast in-house using the lost-wax casting method. They also create a large portion of their jewelry using traditional, old-school goldsmithing techniques such as hand engraving, intricate piercing using a jeweler’s saw, soldering,etc..

Below are photos and/or videos of the Different Seasons team working with these various techniques.
