Designer History: Michael Dawkins

petersuchyjewelers .com tells us: "At a young age, Dawkins chose to pursue industrial design as well as architecture [where] he learned to combine the stylistic applications of the disciplines with his unique sense of aesthetics and beauty. The jewelry maker’s chosen canvases are the classic metals of jewelry making: gold and silver. Combining these metals with diamonds and a wide array of semi-precious stones has led to the creation of a beautiful line of work. What sets apart his pieces from the competition is the process of granulation.
Dawkins is famous for heating metal to the point that it forms miniature bubbles, which he then artistically patterns and connects to the metal base."
