A great reader, Alex draws inspiration from the books he reads and allows his fertile imagination to soar into realms unbound by time and space. “My jewelry pieces tell a story”, says Alex who invites us to set our imaginations free. Take a peek at another world through his Little Windows Bracelet, sparkling with 77 diamonds meticulously handcrafted in 18K gold. Conjure in your mind the stone flagged path to an ancient temple with Alex Sepkus’ Gold Pathway Ring or plunge beneath the sea with his blue sapphire Ocean Earrings. Yes, it is truly difficult to describe Alex Sepkus’ creations but one thing is certain – they are never conventional, thus their universal appeal and eternal beauty.

Alex Sepkus designs do not go through the sketch pad. They are conceived in the designer's imaginative mind and are born straight in gold or other precious metal - no stop-overs in a sketch pad where a design team hovers over for long periods of time rearranging, conceptualizing, polishing inconsistencies. Perhaps this is just one more part of Alex's genius, which makes him a genre unto himself in the jewelry industry. "I stopped making sketches years ago," explains the award-winning artist from Lithuania. "I imagine the piece I want to make and my hands work by themselves. Sometimes, I am surprised at what comes out." And if he, himself, is surprised everyone else astounded by his never-ending shows of spectacular miniature works of art. They are simply unconventional and inimitable. Learn more about Alex Sepkus and his craft when you visit Shreve & Co. at Palo Alto – authorized dealer for Alex Sepkus.
