Pierce
is a self taught metal artist. Born and bred in Dublin,
his inspiration spans from the metal smiths of ancient
Ireland to these minimalistic designer times. All of
his creations are one-of-a-kind with the stamp of original
design and expert craftsmanship. Using sterling silver,
14 karat gold, brass, copper, iron, stainless steel,
oxidization, and a variety of textures along with moving
parts, he crafts contemporary jewelry. Each creation
has an exciting finish & touch that is meaningful
to its wearers.
Pierce is a strong
believer in the finished piece of work taking on the
scratches and dents of its wearer's life and feels jewelry
is half physical, half mystery - the latter referring
to the stories connected to a piece once placed on the
body. Almost like the captains log on a ship, once launched
for a voyage there is no telling where it will go. As
a schooled draftsman he has a trained eye for detail
and design, and views each creation as a small painting
on metal, expressing a mood and a moment in time which
will live and survive the journey of many lives.
