An everyday necklace to elevate your looks. Its sterling silver naja style pendant hangs from a rugged brown leather cord and is stamped with a simplistic design. It features a trio of turquoise stones of varying shades. A future classic for anyone's collection.
Alex Horst has been in the jewelry trade since he was a boy working alongside his father. Through the years he has mastered a variety of jewelry crafts from gem carving and stamp making to the traditional Japanese practice of Mokume-gane, or ‘wood grain metal.
All of Alex’s works are made with the hopes of creating jewelry that, as Alex says, is “wearable, comfortable, and at peace… a piece of jewelry that’s got silver and turquoise and you can wear it with a t-shirt and go to the grocery store and it looks good.” This is the mindset one might expect a teacher to have — a sense of daily importance and immediacy — as Alex also leads the Jewelry program at his local community college; which allows him to foster the same love of gems, materials, and jewelry crafting that he discovered as a boy in his parents’ shop.
Alex Horst's works, rugged and non-pretentious, hold a timeless sensibility and ageless value all their own. Owning a piece of Alex Horst jewelry is an investment in a long and enduring story, one that will last, like one of his stamps, far into the future and long after his stamps have laid still.
