A 30 year worldwide journey that delved into both the passion and perfection of jewelry artistry has brought Stephen Vincent, designer and master goldsmith of Studio Vincent, to Minneapolis to create some of the world's most beautiful and unique collections and custom jewelry.
Stephen has traveled the world to train in both traditional and cutting edge techniques in jewelry design and manufacturing. He has studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design's Master Classes, San Francisco's Revere Academy, Germany and Rome with world renowned master goldsmith Giuseppe Missoni. Stephen also holds a GIA Certificate in Diamonds.
Stephen was one of the first goldsmiths in the US to use palladium and is a cutting pioneer in the use of palladium in jewelry. He is also one of the few taking advantage of not only stainless steel, but Damascus steel, which is the ancient art of folding and forging steel for maximum tensile strength which was developed for the blades for samurai swords and creates a stunning moire pattern in the metal.
Studio Vincent is know for its high standard of design and craftsmanship. Stephen's method of manipulating metals into tension set bands guarantees a crisp, never fading edge to the metal and a suspension setting that will outlast any other method of mounting and provide your gem with the maximum fire and brilliance.
Studio Vincent is an environmentally and socially aware company, choosing conflict free diamonds, recycling materials and selecting manufacturing processes and suppliers who are conscious of their carbon footprint.
Stephen's collections of Signature Engagement, Wedding and Commitment Rings as well as his Muse line of jewelry are inspired, but his true talent shines in his creation of one of a kind pieces inspired by a unique gem or a collaboration with a client - making their dreams a reality.
