About the Artists
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.
Jessica Dow draws inspiration form flora and fauna and the organic textures
of nature. Jessica's jewelry begins with her own intricately hand-drawn designs
and each piece is cut out using a jeweler's saw and piercing techniques.
Jessica thrives on creating custom jewelry with personal significance for her
clients and embraces every design project with enthusiasm. Jessica has a
passionate spirit for designing wearable art jewelry with beauty and elegance.
Mark Anderson, a gemology student at G.I.A., specializes in fine rare gemstones
and he cuts the majority of the gems used in Different Seasons jewelry. Mark
is an accomplished silversmith and goldsmith who also works in platinum,
palladium, gem carving, gem inlay, and casts his own hand-carved wax models in
silver and gold. Mark is strongly influenced by the properties of the stones
used in his work and his love for gemology is expressed through his
discriminating eye for using only the best gems he can find. Mark has a unique
talent for creating innovative designs using his broad knowledge in both
jewelry design and lapidary arts.
Jessica and Mark have worked both as individuals and on a collaborative basis
as contributors to both Lapidary Journal's Jewelry Art magazine and Art Jewelry
magazine. They have recently finished their fifth full length step-by-step
article within the past year. Their most recent submission will be published in
the September issue of Art Jewelry magazine.
