About the Artist

Brian Gibney has been a jeweler for over 15 years. Primarily self-taught, he strives to continually expand his knowledge through experimentation and dialogue with other artists. A scientist and artist, these two disparate loves come together in his jewelry to create pieces with simple lines and a clean aesthetic. His pieces range in style from organic to industrial, but often seek to marry these themes to create balanced works of unique, wearable art.
