Michael Boyd

"My jewelry is a compilation of standard materials and processes aimed at a progressive and innovative use of unusual, rare, and traditional materials. In the collecting and choosing of stones, I am a colorist, and while cutting the stones, I define the form and structure. Using stone as a medium my goal is to blend and integrate these materials with the metal."

Michael Boyd is a nationally renowned jewelry designer, metalsmith, and lapidary artist based in Pueblo and Salida, Colorado. Formally trained in painting and ceramics, for the past thirty years Michael has focused his creative work in jewelry making.

Using stone as his primary medium, Boyd integrates metal and rock to create bold and striking works of art. Each piece becomes an elegant compilation of materials and processes aimed at an innovative use of unusual, rare, and traditional materials to stir the mind and enrich the soul.

Boyd is a teacher at private workshops and at universities around the country, including Colorado State University, Bowling Green State University and the University of Alaska.
