David Urso

David Urso's highly sophisticated handcrafted jewelry is a visual feast of color, form and surface characterized by sensual organic shapes and a painterly use of hand tinted resins applied in solids and patterns. The resulting color range is vibrant, earthy, and beautifully textured. David began his jewelry making career when he was 15 years old, taking lessons after school with a local silversmith. He later received a BFA in gold and silversmithing from SUNY New Paltz. After apprenticing with several different jewelry houses, he started his own design company and has continued to market the collection to galleries and boutique stores countrywide.  "I love the feeling of walking through museums and finding the diamonds in the rough. Bits of ancient history. The way in which man creates an object of beauty from countless elements, precious and not." - Bio courtesy of his website
