Lee Rumsey Haga's designs are a mix of ancient Japanese metal alloys and western aesthetics. She resides in Portland, Oregon where the landscape greatly influences her work.

Haga received her art degree at UC Berkeley. She attended the Oregon school of Arts and Crafts and also studied under Finnish silversmith Heikki Seppa.

The alloys that Haga uses are metals that were used 1,000 years ago by the Samurai warriors and the Japanese nobility in their arms, armor and personal belongings. Shibuichi is 25% silver in a copper base. Shakudo is 4% gold in a copper base. Mokume-gane, meaning "wood-grained" texture in Japanese, uses 21-27 alternating layers of copper and silver. Haga combines these metals with stones like chrysocholla, azurite, agates and jaspers to achieve a wonderful contrast of textures and coloration.

Lee Rumsey Haga has been featured in Lapidary Journal and Designer Jewelry Showcase.

Kathleen Lynagh jewelry designs are noted for their fine craftsmanship and unusual design. Her pieces are influenced by architectural and graphic designs as well as simple organic forms. One collection called the Pod Line features bronze castings of seed pods.

While working as a Senior Graphic Designer and Associate for an architectural firm, Lynagh was selected to participate in a unique program in Switzerland, sponsored by the Yale School of Design. Since that time, she has devoted all of her attention to jewelry design.

Lynagh attended the Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy and continued her studies at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She relocated to California, where she now resides in La Jolla. Lynagh was highlighted as a "1999 Rising Star" at the national JCK Jewelry Show in Las Vegas.

Steve Wilson is a native Kentuckian and he wouldn't have it any other way. After working at many other jobs, he fell into an apprenticeship with David Hungerford, whom he has known since junior high school. In spite of his tendency to wander off in all directions, Steve has managed to spend 10 years studying under David.

Steve doesn't really like jewelry all that much, but he has a deep love of the craft and discipline of metal. His jewelry is characterized by strong, bold forms and simple, often multi-textured surfaces. He likes to use unusual items, including woods and river-tumbled stones, and often cuts his own stones. He is especially influenced by Native American and Japanese forms, and his jewelry often expresses his spiritual side.
