Artsilver: A Unique Collection of Handmade Jewelry
Our Story
Hello, My name is Shandor Edward Madjar of Artsilver and Madjar Jewelry Designs. I am an award-winning and skilled jewelry artist who works with Solid Sterling Silver 925, 14K & 18K Gold, White Bronze, Brass, and a variety of semi-precious birthstones and pearls.
As a young boy, I was always taking things apart. Transformer toys and Lego littered my bedroom floor. My parents are accomplished hair stylists, but especially my father possessed many artistic talents. Creative welding, blacksmithing, and unique building projects contributed greatly to my creative development. With an early appreciation for things of beauty, art, and design, I was inspired to fabricate things in metal, learning how to solder and weld at an early age.
By age 17, I began a 6-year apprenticeship with a local jewelry designer, learning techniques such as wax sculpting, lost wax casting, and electro-forming. Utilizing my developed knowledge and skills from my metal smithing apprenticeship, I started my own small business in 1999.
Innovation & Design
In 2002, I took my jewelry design and mechanical abilities to a new level by inventing the 'Multi-Form Ring'. These mechanical hinged rings can be flipped forward and backward to appear as two different styles. Semi-precious gemstones, pearls, and filigree decorations were added to my designs. I mostly work with Amethyst, Blue Topaz, Garnet, Onyx, Peridot, Turquoise, and white, black, and peacock pearls, as well as mabe pearls in white and blue.
Artsilver's concepts and designs continue to evolve, employing unique closures, spinning components, hinged clasps, and other interchangeable jewelry concepts. My original kinetic spellbinding creations are widely popular at art fairs across the country and around the world. Two new creations are the Pendant-Rings (pendants which transform into rings) and Arthritis Rings (rings which open easily via magnetic closures to bypass enlarged knuckles).
Our Studio
I am living and working from my studio / home in Colorado. All my uniquely original jewelry pieces are Wearable Art, designed for the individual who wants jewelry of beauty and practicality, like nothing else in the world.
