About the Maker
Alex Šepkus
A true original in the world of jewelry design, Alex Šepkus was classically trained as a sculptor in a time when working with gold in Lithuania was illegal. His collections are inspired by everything from cherished books to medieval architecture to the apple orchard in his own backyard. He creates uniquely textured, museum-quality pieces known as much for their intricate details as they are for their irresistible sense of whimsy.
