Dan Balk Jewelry, Neighbor

I am an award winning artist, designer and goldsmith. I create unique, one-of-a-kind sculptural adornments. I begin each piece from raw materials from which I make my own alloys of silver and gold. Then, working directly in these precious metals, without the use of molds or casting, I fashion each piece of contemporary art jewelry. I hand select and set the finest diamonds and colored gemstones to accent each piece of sculpture, often times performing my own lapidary work on select stones. Influenced by natural, organic forms which are more consistent with human anatomy than traditional jewelry, each piece of modern contemporary fine art jewelry is created with emphasis on comfort, function and durability.
