PHILOSOPHY
“MY DESIGNS CONVEY MY PRINCIPLE AESTHETIC OF PURE DIRECT, MINIMALISTIC FORM. I AM INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL WORLD, NATURE IS MY MOTIF. MY PRIMARY FOCUS IS SIMPLICITY AND BALANCE. I FEEL WE ARE ALL OBLIGATED TO DRAW IDEAS FROM OUR OWN TIME, BUT I FEEL NATURE AND TRADITION ARE VERY IMPORTANT. YOU MUST LOOK AT THE WORLD WITH FRESH EYES, BUT ALSO RESPECT AND LOOK TO THE PAST FOR INSPIRATION.”
CHRISTOPHER PHELAN STUDIED AT THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE STUDIES IN DETROIT, WHERE HE RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS IN JEWELRY DESIGN. HE CONTINUED HIS STUDIES AT THE ALLIANCE OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES OF ART IN NEW YORK CITY AND AT THE STUDIO ART CENTERS INTERNATIONAL IN FLORENCE, ITALY.
CELEBRITY CLIENTELE: KEITH RICHARDS, NICHOLAS CAGE, MIA FARROW, KIM BASINGER, AYUMI HAMASAKI, MISAKI ITO AND CHARLIZE THERON.
ALL PIECES ARE DESIGNED AND HAND CRAFTED BY CHRISTOPHER PHELAN IN NEW YORK CITY.
