I'm Chapin Dimond, a jeweler and metalsmith who is inspired by fun, nature and the magic of metals. It is this process of playing with elements that produces my jewelry. I use modern and ancient techniques to blend nature and human interaction.
When you are viewing my Vein Bubble Cuff, imagine entering a mountain mine, the cold of winter snow under your feet, a lantern shines bright against the rock wall. Rich veins of gold sparkle with the flash of the light. Water droplets seep down revealing the gold. This vision is the inspiration behind the Vein Bubble Cuff made with 22k gold flakes fused onto sterling silver. Brilliant white diamonds that fluoresce blue under UV light mimic the glistening water and the hidden secrets in the cavern walls.
“Swing that hammer, light that torch, and make that magic happen.”
I create in Louisville, Colorado, I share the art of metalsmithing and the magic of metal by teaching, designing and making unique jewelry that tell a story.
