Adam's interest in metal at an atomic level stems largely from his time spent working at a high-end jewelry design studio developing exclusive precious metal alloys Adam researched, developed and produced purple and blue golds, heat treatable precious metal alloys and a magnetic platinum alloy that were awarded U.S. patents. These proprietary alloys were utilized to create jewelry with unique characteristics suited to highly refined, engineered products. This experience continually informs Adam’s creative research. His expertise and high caliber precision craftsmanship is evident in all his work.
