“Jewelry pieces from Steven Ruse are hand fashioned to be worn and look like nothing else available, and his passion in creating his little masterpieces shines through in every work,” said Dirk Christiansen, owner of Studio Seven Arts.  “For Fall '11 we have more than 10 new exclusive pieces that further his tremendous following.”

Ruse’s work is inspired by the environment, bright deep colors and the natural wonders of the coast. A former sea diver, Ruse began fashioning his vast collection of artifacts and precious stones to create jewelry for his wife, and later, for everyone. Ruse’s work inspires natural appeal, due to the artisan’s use of fine silver and distinct metals, beautifully colored precious stones, and fossilized ivory, polished and fashioned for his carvings.
