Different Seasons Jewelry is an artistic union between Jessica Dow's organic Art Nouveau inspired designs and Mark Anderson's clean, modern and elegant approach to jewelry and lapidary arts. Mark Anderson, a gemology student at G.I.A., specializes in fine, rare gemstones and he cuts the majority of gems used in Different Season's jewelry. Mark is an accomplished silversmith and goldsmith who also works in platinum, palladium, gem carving, gem inlay and lost wax casting. Jessica Dow has studied sculpture and drawing and uses her love for nature, a meticulous eye for detail and her hand sketched designs to create beautiful artisan jewelry. Jessica and Mark combine their individual strengths and talents to form truly original works of wearable art. You can see more of Mark's work on his MySpace page..http://www.myspace.com/msadesigns
