Custom Jewelry Design & Artisan Craftsmanship
A Jewelers Art was founded in 1998 by Sheridan Conrad, a jewelry artist with decades of experience in custom design and craftsmanship. Our work combines formal education in art and gemology with hands-on expertise developed through partnerships in wholesale jewelry businesses and private showings. We specialize in creating bespoke pieces that reflect individual stories, utilizing techniques refined through global travels to study ancient metalwork and gemstone sourcing. Our Oklahoma City studio, established in 2009, serves as both a gallery space and educational hub where we teach jewelry-making to private students. With certifications from the Gemological Institute of America and affiliations with leading industry organizations, we maintain rigorous standards for material quality and artistic integrity.Our clientele includes collectors and institutions seeking one-of-a-kind works inspired by natural forms and cultural motifs. Through continuous study of historical techniques like chasing and repousse, we blend traditional methods with contemporary aesthetics. Our commitment to excellence has been recognized through invitations to exclusive exhibitions and collaborations with national contemporary jewelers. We maintain transparency in material sourcing and pricing while preserving the personal touch of a small, owner-operated business. Our unique value lies in combining technical mastery with a deep understanding of jewelry's role as wearable art and heirloom creation.
