Saint Jewels: Crafting the Irreplaceable in Beverly Hills Luxury
As the legendary Coco Chanel once stated, “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.” This philosophy is the creative cornerstone of Saint Jewels, a luxury jewelry atelier located in the heart of Beverly Hills, California. Saint Jewels specializes in creating rich, custom-designed fine jewelry pieces that not only captivate and delight but also embody confidence, artistry, joy, and love.
Founded by the visionary Master Jewelry Artist, Gerard Alexander, Saint Jewels serves an elite, global clientele whose appreciation for fine art goes beyond conventional jewelry—they seek deeply personal, museum-worthy pieces that truly transcend imagination.
The Genesis of a Master: Gerard Alexander’s Artistic Journey
Gerard Alexander’s path to becoming a distinguished jewelry artist was forged early in the world of fine art. Born and raised in New York City, he was surrounded by avid artists, fostering a natural inclination towards creation. He first began painting and sketching as a child, and by the age of ten, he was already enrolled as a student at the prestigious New York Students Art League. There, Gerard meticulously honed his skills in foundational disciplines like life drawing, painting, and sculpting.
It was through sculpting that his true calling began to emerge. Gerard’s fascination with glamour and aesthetics led him to sketch jewelry relentlessly. His first piece was unknowingly designed for a family friend who, captivated by one of Gerard’s early sketches, commissioned a neighboring jeweler to bring the design to life.
This single, pivotal moment served as the catalyst for Gerard Alexander’s illustrious career in fine jewelry. He found boundless, compelling inspiration in the intricate forging of precious stones and heavy metals.
From Diamond District Apprentice to Beverly Hills Visionary
Upon completing his formal fine art studies, Gerard quickly dove into the professional world of luxury jewelry. He became the executive assistant to a private jeweler catering to celebrity clientele in New York City’s famed Diamond District. Gerard leveraged every opportunity to study, learn, and explore the meticulous process involved in the design, creation, and sales of exclusive, high-value pieces.
Seeking new horizons and further specialization, Gerard changed coasts in 2014, landing in Los Angeles. Here, he apprenticed with a master hand maker of fine jewelry in downtown LA. During this time, Gerard began developing the privately commissioned pieces that would form the genesis of his own brand—a high-end contemporary luxury men’s jewelry brand that would eventually evolve into Saint Jewels.
Art is Life: The Philosophy Behind the Design
Gerard’s profound belief that ‘art is life’ ignites every design he creates. His style is a fresh, youthful vision anchored in an amalgamation of deep art history knowledge and acute design instinct. He approaches his love for art akin to “breathing fresh air,” ensuring every piece is infused with vitality and originality.
To solidify his expertise and ensure his designs met the highest industry standards, Gerard later earned a Graduate Gemologist Diploma from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in Los Angeles. Embracing the concept of individuality and irreplaceability, he approaches each new commission instinctively, utilizing his finely tuned aesthetic awareness to create pieces that are profoundly personal to the wearer.
Today, Saint Jewels is recognized in high-net-worth circles for its commitment to originality, daring structure, and delicate execution. The atelier is not just selling jewelry; it is commissioning wearable masterpieces that capture the essence of its wearer—truly irreplaceable art.
