Visions of Creation

Media: Jewelry

A freelance writer penned an article on ROBERTO VENGOECHEA. The headline read: “Imagine Dr. Seuss meeting Salvador Dali ...” She continues: “Vengoechea's contemporary designs encompass both beauty and madness similar to Dali's style while defying acceptable 21^st century jewelry traditions, with square, architectural and geometric shapes inspired by Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi.”

 Roberto Vengoechea is a self-taught designer and sculptor born in Colombia, South America. His 40 years of experience inspires one-of-a-kind sophisticated and contemporary fine jewelry featuring square, geometric and architectural shaped rings, hand fabricated and cast in precious metals, and incorporating fine colored gemstones and diamonds. He breaks away from the traditional round shank to create his own designs using these unique and distinctive shapes. 

Open since December 1996, this contemporary jewelry gallery, owned by husband and wife, Roberto and June Vengoechea, is located in what Robert describes as "the artsy metropolis" of Black Mountain, just 15 minutes East of Asheville.

 IT'S NOT JUST FINE JEWELRY – IT'S FINE ART.
