The cozy, sunlit space is filled with machinery and tools, including nearly 20 pairs of pliers, a hand-built computer, a microscope, and a three-dimensional printer. For nearly 25 years, this is where jeweler Jason Dow has been crafting wearable art with a sensibility and precision rooted in his lifelong fascination with math and science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dow\u2019s passion for making things began from an early age. Growing up in Denver, he would often lose track of time building toy models in the basement\u2014a pastime that eventually led to his introduction to jewelry making through a metalworking class in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

Curious to explore both disciplines, he studied biology and studio art as an undergraduate at the University of Hawai\u2018i at M\u0101noa. He had been considering a career in dentistry when, right before graduation, he took a leap of faith and dropped out to pursue jewelry design. After gemology school in California, he moved back to Hawai\u2018i to join Maui Divers Jewelry for a few years, then branched out to create his own brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His style is influenced by the complex geometric motifs found in nature and throughout South Asian and Islamic art and architecture. Some of Dow\u2019s earliest inspiration came from the hypnotizing tile mosaics, inlays, and light fixtures at the Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture &amp; Design. \u201cI had that idea of paradise in my mind,\u201d he recalled of a visit that inspired one of his first collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

In his Lotus collection, gold mandalas abound, their intricate patterns dotted with diamonds and opalescent moonstones. The exquisite pendants from his Prak\u0101\u015ba collection\u2014named after the Hindi word for light\u2014hang from their chains like miniature lanterns, light glimmering through their laser-cut patterns and bouncing off their embedded diamonds, pearls, and moonstones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dow\u2019s designs begin with a basic sketch, which he perfects using a computer-aided design program and prints on a three-dimensional printer. From there, he casts the jewelry by hand, setting the stones, engraving and polishing the designs, then welding the components with a laser. He refines the most intricate details with the aid of a microscope. \u201c[The work is] time-consuming and laborious, but then it becomes meditative,\u201d Dow says. \u201cJust like most artists do, right?
