Kary Kilmer Design

My metalwork combines traditional fabrication techniques in silver and gold with expert gemstone setting. I handcraft all of my chains using a sophisticated ancient weaving method that I’ve taught for over 30 years. My portfolio features a wide range of pieces, including those showcasing turquoise sourced from Villa Grove, Colorado. I also use a unique "reverse" stone setting technique, where I cut intricate silhouettes—like mountains and trees—into the metal, allowing the natural beauty of the gemstone to shine through the negative space.
