About Me

My name is Ben Kappius and I’ve been making jewelry since 2011. Up until 2019 I’ve been completely self taught and because of that I have developed a style that’s completely unique.

When I started I wanted to pick a direction to develop that was totally different so I gave myself a few guidelines that I feel embody the value of structural integrity in each piece as well as giving it a very 3-dimensional look. All of my wire pieces are one continuous flow from start finish where you can follow each wire as it meshes and parts with each weave through the piece like a liquid silver rollercoaster and every weave I make using Fibonacci sequence numbers and ratios for curves related to the Fibonacci sequence to put the beauty of nature that much more into my work. 

At the time of writing this, I can safely say I’ve put in around 20,000 bench hours with wire.  As for fabrication, I started in 2018 and have been pushing and exploring that happily since and love how the two influence each other. I look specifically for unique and rare gems for my work and love to use what’s outside of the norm.  I love being able to do this and being able to share it with all of you, it just makes it that much better!

My Lifetime Guarantee

One thing that I do offer that’s rather unique due to the quality I seek to put into my work is that I guarantee each piece I make against normal wear and tear for as long as I’m alive, no matter who owns it.

This means every piece I make retains its original value for the life of the piece and given the materials age by a geologic timeframe, they might just tend to be around for quite a while. If you ever have a piece that needs repaired, just message me and I’d love to help you out and if you’d like anything cleaned and polished, I can do that for a small fee and shipping costs.

If you ever have any suggestions, input, ideas of things you’d like to see, collaborations, things you’d like to learn, thoughts, questions or anything else you’d like to chat with me about - PLEASE DO! Contact me here or through Ben Kappius Designs on Facebook and I’d be more than happy to talk with you!
