Precious Legos
Of Research and Patents
Tess’ journey from painter to inventor began with a fascination with the ancient art of goldsmithing, coupled with a question: How to liberate fine jewelry from single-venue enjoyment to everyday pleasure? In her late forties, her children grown, Tess happened on the idea of interchangeable jewelry that could be configured for any occasion. The challenge was the coupling device, which required exacting precision not achievable using traditional methods. However, with the advent of 3-D design, Tess mastered that art and was able to produce prototypes and secure patents in 11 countries.
Beautiful Fine Jewelry
So Fun to Wear
While any story of a persistent innovation is fun, patents aren't usually this fun (at least, for people thinking about fashion!). Tess continues to add new gemstones, connectors, necklaces, and designs to the collection. Jewelry is already a joy to put on in the morning and it feels good to wear. But with this collection, you get to wake up and be your own pendant designer and colorist!
