An Extraordinary Vision

Gregory's journey into jewelry design was profoundly influenced by his deep appreciation for music and classical art. His exploration into the intricate stories depicted in classical compositions and the mathematical nature of music led him to see parallels between musical patterns and visual art. This realization became a pivotal moment, inspiring him to create jewelry that embodies the harmony and rhythm found in music

 

The Artistic Philosophy

"Music is a form of communication which has a direct connection to the human soul. I see it as a code or even visual patterns which express different moods, meanings, and messages. In my opinion, the patterns of musical passages combined with frequencies produced by the instruments can be translated into the visual arts dimension. Jewelry design is one of the many forms of visual arts, providing the designer with an opportunity to express imagination, make a statement, and invite the viewer into the joyful experience of beautiful forms, shapes, and patterns, which transcend into a frequency reaching the human soul. Jewelry is not just a combination of metal and gemstones, but a wearable visual art form, where each piece created tells its own story and helps oneself to express their uniqueness and individuality."—  -- Gregory Simon

The Journey Begins

Drawing inspiration from the harmony of music and the beauty of nature, Gregory began to see jewelry as a medium to bring together separate elements into a cohesive masterpiece. His designs reflect this philosophy, combining various components to create pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally resonant.

Perfecting the Process

Gregory aims to create moving experiences for those who wear his creations, allowing them to embody the inherent beauty of each piece. To achieve this, he has engineered and perfected every step of the process, from inception to completion, paying close attention to every detail. Each uniquely designed piece begins with a hand-drawn sketch, involving hours of intricate pencil strokes. The chosen stone is meticulously matched to the sketch, ensuring aesthetic harmony and precision. Gregory then transforms the sketch into a captivating masterpiece adorned with hand engravings
