In this modern world, there are many who would pretend mastery and artistry but, the truly gifted are few and far between. Much of that has to do with the grounding and schooling of the individual artisan. Jesper Jensen is one of those rare, properly schooled, incredibly talented artisans whose work is of the highest order; he is truly as much artist as artisan.

His love of the outdoors provides inspiration for old country repousse art that is simply breathtaking in accuracy, detail and dedication to the discipline. Working in precious metals, his is renowned for magically hammering three dimensional forest and stream creatures into metal. These rare pieces compound in value even before being delivered.


Of the many awards to come his way, he takes greatest pride in the prestigious World Titanium Council award, an industry award from his peers. Noted for an ability to meld old world technique with modern technology, he creates much sought after jewellery designs in Titanium combined with other rare metals and gems. Though much of his work involves diamond setting, Jesper favours the dramatic quality of coloured stones. Little wonder then that some of his finest creations involve the rare reds, blues and yellows of precious gems.
