Scott Gauthier also remains one of the top gemstone collectors in the world, possessing a phenomenal collection that very few other jewelers can boast, earning him the respect of the Smithsonian.

Gauthier’s way of viewing the world around him translates to strong and sophisticated forms; works of art that are timeless, creative, prolific and diverse. His signature designs are easily recognized by his trademark mix of geometric shapes and artistic balance. Gauthier refuses to mass-produce his pieces; rather he opts for a labor-intensive, handcrafted process where the craftsmanship is of the highest quality.

The design process that many jewelers have abandoned for mass-produced and machined pieces, Gauthier embraces. Each piece is designed and crafted by hand, a process that has been compared to Cartier and Tiffany, in their early years.

The distinctive look of Gauthier has been described by many as captivating. The designs themselves have dimension, direction and a sense of purpose. Each piece has a story to tell. With some, the story is readily apparent, but in most cases, the tale evolves as one gets to know the creation. Hidden pearls that can only be seen from certain angles, diamonds set backwards so only the pavilion of the stone is visible and gemstones set in tubes to mask the hinging mechanism, are just a few examples of the creativity and ingenuity that tell the tale of Gauthier.

Scott Gauthier’s attention to detail and labor-intensive process results in exquisite handmade jewelry that is both distinctive and exclusive. Gauthier creates new pieces everyday, creatings hundreds of unique designs every year. Each piece is either exclusive or one of a handful in existence. People come from all over the world to see the stunning designs.

Not one piece of jewelry leaves the studio without the Gauthier signature trademark – a small sapphire hidden somewhere on each piece.

Rare and exquisite gemstones serve as the inspiration behind every Gauthier design. Each piece begins with a magnificent gemstone for which Scott Gauthier fashions an original design for that stone, and that stone only.
