Meet Gabriel Guzman at Angela Lensch Gallery

This peacock pendant is Gabriel Guzman’s signature design.

Come meet jewelry artist Gabriel Guzman at Angela Lensch Gallery on Sept. 26, 10 am – 5 pm. Guzman will display his beautiful jewelry designs that have evolved from living in five different countries on three different continents.

The respect he has for each of these countries is seen in his pendants and earrings, since he draws from ancient symbolism of these cultures. His Ph.D. in the field of Microbiology has only deepened his interest in detail and design, for he has learned from nature itself.

Guzman’s process is best described in his own words: “To make my designs come to life in the tridimensional world, every piece goes through a six-step process but I spend most of my time in the creative-designing state. I consider the properties of a particular metal when I produce the first sketches; a lot of detail and fine curves are best achieved with precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), polished semi-precious metals (brass or bronze), or with metal plating (gold, or rhodium) on a base of polished brass. For less detail and a ‘rougher’ or antique look and texture, steel in different finishes (polished gold, polished bronze) would make the piece stand out.”

Angela Lensch Gallery, open daily 10 am to 5 pm, is located at the south end of Egg Harbor, halfway between the Patricia Shoppe and Chief Oshkosh. For more information visit angelalenschgallery.com or call 920.868.5088.
