- Val Stern, Pterodactyl, Sculptural Bracelet, 21st CenturyBy Val SternLocated in New York, NYMaterials: Sterling silver, hand-carved agate, hematite, garnets. Dimensions: Max. height: 3 1/2 inches Max. width: 2 1/2 inches Weight: 4.4oz (125.5g) Val Stern It is a well-known fact that the success of any artist is justified, first, by his or her talent. Of course, an element of luck is very important but it is secondary. One can say with certainty that Val Stern has been doubly lucky for he is not only an extremely talented artist but, most importantly, possesses an enviable intelligence and erudition. As a result, his unique style stands in the open against the dominant trends in jewelry today. Inspired by an array of influences, such as nature, cosmology, myth, religion, symbolism, and occultism, his totally unexpected concepts determine his unconventional use of rare precious stones and unusual selection of metals. Frequently, he even fashions his own tools and invents new techniques in order to achieve the look he desires.

After only a year of apprenticeship, Val was a full-fledged jeweler, employed by the Rudlier Jewelry in New York City. Since 2001, he has been working successfully with private international clientele, exhibiting and selling through a family owned art gallery in Manhattan. The triumphant solo debut of his jewelry collection took place in 2004, at the Aaron Faber Gallery in New York City, and many others followed since though Val himself considers his extremely successful solo exhibition in the spring of 2016, at the cult avant-garde Dejavu Art Gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, as the most important in his career up to this day. He also finds mystically significant that fact that Andy Warhol first exhibited his works in this space. However, the real breakthrough and recognition came in 2013, when the famous writer, editor, photographer, artist, socialite and fashion guru, Ms. Lisa Eisner...Category
