About
Influenced by his mother (a jewelry designer) and father (an architect) Erik Stewart began his career in the jewelry industry at the age of 13, developing foundational skills at the bench. Erik Stewart received formal gemology training at the Gemological Institute of America and is a certified Graduate Gemologist (2003). Trained in Matrix, Erik uses computer-aided design software to enhance precision, create clean lines, execute innovative design and achieve world-class workmanship. In 2005, Erik Stewart Jewelry established his own business creating his brand and collaborating with master jewelers to manufacture designs with superb care and the highest level of quality made in the USA. After years of custom design and retail, in 2012 Erik Stewart officially debuted into the wholesale market as a JCK Rising Star (see more awards…). He has continued to operate both retail and wholesale markets, taking brief sabbaticals after the births of each his sons (2014 and 2018).
Erik’s design concepts stem from vivid imagery inspired by music, visual and performing arts (wife is a modern dancer), food, travel and playing with his two children. His strong affinity for geometry within nature, minimalistic elegance, and transforming complexity into simplicity are significant motifs in all of his jewelry. The ESJ brand is innovative, conceptual, and dynamic. With the objective of challenging and expanding notions of jewelry design by the jewelry industry, retail market, and himself, Erik Stewart welcomes every publishing/educating opportunity. Areas of expertise that he can speak on include: jewelry design, design process, jewelry aesthetics, computer-aided design (Matrix), digital sculpting (Zbrush), 3D printing, gemology, and the relationship of architecture and jewelry.

We are 100% committed to ethical sourcing as our best practice.
“My concepts reflect my lifelong story. The elements are purposeful and intentionally expressed as Art for the Body.”
