Artful Fine Jewelry for the Collector in You
Corey Egan Jewelry is forged, designed, sculpted, and set in Berkeley, California
Hi, I'm Corey
Corey Egan Jewelry, my namesake line, is a collection of fine sterling silver, gold, and gemstone pieces filled with personality. I design my jewelry to feel cheerful and elegant, but ultimately, I want it to feel likea reflection of you. My hope is that you’ll assign personal meaning to the pieces you choose. They should become shiny representations of the experiences, memories, accomplishments, and dreams that make you who you are.
Process
Jewelry-Making Is an Art, Which Makes You a Collector
My design process starts with inspiration from lights, shadows, textures, and geometric silhouettes. Sitting at my workbench, I explore organic shapes and texture-driven techniques to enhance the natural beauty of each gemstone. My jewelry-making methods include:
- The sculptural process of lost wax casting.
- The intentional lines of hand engraving.
- The thoughtful construction of fabrication.
I incorporate these personal marks to give my collectors a sense of connection to me and the methodical artistic process behind the crafting of their piece.
Beliefs
Fine Jewelry Should Start a Conversation
Corey Egan is rooted in a few key beliefs, which I think many of my collectors share:
No. 1 - The things we own and consume should be thoughtful and purposeful.
No. 2 - Individuality should be cherished and celebrated.
No. 3 - Small details matter; we can leave a mark on the world with the little choices we make.
It’s from this perspective that I choose to create wearable works of art imbued with intentional details and personal meaning. My goal is for you to feel empowered when you wear the pieces that speak to you. And if you get a few compliments along the way, that’s simply a bonus.
Sustainability
Consciously Making One Good Decision at a Time
Responsible mining practices for gems and precious metals are essential to running a sustainable jewelry business. That’s why I design with recycled (post-consumer) precious metals and antique diamonds. For other gemstones, I ethically source whenever possible.
