Adam Foster's Fine Art Jewelry

One topic that I found interesting in class today was how art used to be viewed as a skill and an occupation rather than expressing or painting about what interests the artist. Art was more of a job such as making jewelry. After class I researched ‘Fine’ artists and discovered a very talented artist, Adam Foster. He owns Adam Foster Fine Art Jewelry where his attention to detail is what makes his jewelry so stunning. He has a degree from the Art Institute of Chicago gave his a great appreciation for jewelry making. His store is said to be an experience that engages the senses reflecting the progressive ideas that keep the jewelry designs fresh and unique. At Adam Foster Fine Art jewelry you can choose from his current collections or a custom design that you have an active role in. Adams passion for design is shown in all of his works and he takes pride in making your jewelry and believes that jewelry should be a reflection of the wearer.

Adam has stated that, "I'm not here to sell people the biggest diamond, there are plenty of great materials, but when they are paired with bad design, it doesn't work." I truly consider Foster’s jewelry designs art. He himself meets with each client to discuss the details that go into the jewelry. He is the one that makes every aspect of the ring perfect. When discussing the ring, it is important to him that "they have to love it from every angle." Foster makes sketches of the piece, and uses the computer to carefully deign the jewelry allowing his clients to see exactly what the jewelry will look like as well as make any modifications. He cuts each stone and polishes it with pumice making it shimmer which is a very delicate process. Depending on how detailed the piece is, it could take Fosters months to complete. Foster claims that there is more to the process of designing jewelry then the four C’s; cut, color, clarity, and weight rather a true connection with his clients. When Foster finishes his unique pieces women are always astonished with how well the piece came out. Foster designs several wedding rings claiming to still know each of them.

What Adam Foster does is truly art. His view and designs that he makes in the rings and other jewelry that he makes are like no other. He himself designs each of the pieces and they are all unique and personal. Jewelry making is technically Adam Foster’s profession, however, it is a form of art that many women in this world are grateful for. His pieces cause a reaction, an astonishing one to say the least which is the main focus of every artwork.
