Jewelry designer John Iversen has had a lifelong attraction to nature, which is apparent in his work.
Iversen's beautifully fluid, organic jewelry is expressed through the use of leaves, flowers, pebbles, baskets, seeds and water. “Jewelry has its own emotional experience — a very basic, primitive instinct,” he says.
Trained in Germany, Iversen migrated to New York in 1978. His pieces are included in permanent collections of many museums both in the United States and in Europe.
