About Me
Kyle Gross
Metalsmith and Jewelry Designer
My journey into metalsmithing wasn't planned - it began unexpectedly while I was pursuing a career in photography. What started as crafting simple jewelry pieces for loved ones blossomed into my life's passion and the foundation of Stones Throw Studio. Today, over twenty years later , I'm grateful that my early hobby has grown into a thriving business, supported by an incredible community of customers locally, nationally, and internationally.
My studio's evolution mirrors my creative journey. From humble beginnings at my living room table, through various makeshift workspaces, I finally realized my dream in 2012 by building a dedicated backyard studio. I welcome visitors by appointment to explore my collection and discuss custom designs.
Every piece I create is handcrafted using recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones, many of which I have cut locally. Nature is my primary muse - from leaf textures to dragonfly silhouettes. I also draw inspiration from unexpected sources: urban patterns, architectural elements, and everyday surroundings. My work embraces wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating both elegant simplicity and the beauty of subtle imperfections.
