| About Tom Kruskal
My
background is in mathematics, design and music.
My career has been about elevating hand-forged
jewelry from a craft to an art, and balancing artistic
honesty with the integrity of a successful small
business.
My inspirations include: organic shapes in the
New England countryside, the ocean in its fluid changing
forms, and the music and dance that fill my life outside
the jewelry studio and remind me of the proportion,
balance, movement and grace I strive for in my jewelry
designs.
My design process incorporates a lifelong
exploration of linear forms in space, and attention to
the interplay of aesthetics and the fabrication process
(if it’s too complicated to make, it’s probably not a
good design!).
My goal is to create beautiful jewelry that is
- light yet strong
- classic yet contemporary
- appropriate for women of all ages
- wearable day to evening
- affordable for most
- a compliment to the wearer’s spirit.
