Alex Sepkus is out! Or, as he might say, Alex is also not so out. In a world full of designers scrambling to turn fine jewelry into an offshoot of the fashion industry — and therefore, by nature, attuned to the fad (it‘s called the rag trade for a reason) — Alex Sepkus Jewelry remains so focused he never feels the need to chase anything. Why should he? His picture is big, like a magnificent mosaic; the components comprise detailing so small he and his workforce require microscopes to execute it, which is only the first contradiction from this designer.

Alex Sepkus makes no sense. Somewhere between P.G. Wodehouse (of whom he is a big fan) and a worn flagstone from a medieval church floor, Alex found timeless beauty. So, perhaps he makes perfect sense. Alex would enjoy the question.

Alex Sepkus is a fanatic; the intelligence he applies to his work is far beyond the national standard requirements of a jeweler set by the committee of national standard requirements. This leads to the second contradiction about Alex: This obsessive approach would normally suggest an absence of humor. Instead, we see in Alex‘s work an irresistible playfulness, even a quirkiness, unrivaled in the world of the goldsmith.

Alex is an intellectual eccentric, which would explain his exceptionally large hat size and his slant towards a somewhat dandy cut of suit. So, Alex is out – which is precisely why Alex is in.

Each piece of Alex Sepkus jewelry is meticulously produced in their New York City studio, by a small team of talented artisans.

Sadly, Alex Sepkus passed away on September 5th, 2021. His unique designs and quirky personality will be missed, but his legacy will live on through his creations.
