Judie Gumm


View Judie Gumm Jewelery
 


 

Judie Gumm is a noted jewelry designer from interior Alaska where she has been designing and manufacturing jewelry since 1970. She is recognized for her Alaskan nature designs, combining sterling silver and semiprecious stones in designs which feature the birds, fruits, berries and animals of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. We are pleased to offer a selection of her jewelry.

 "I draw inspiration from Nature's own wealth of imagery. I am particularly drawn to capture animals and plants that have a whimsical theme or romantic symbolism. This approach often challenges me to find that perfect bead or stone to complement the design in a meaningful way. As a craft, jewelry should be well made, durable, and above all else wearable. But it also can be an art form that enchants the wearer with beauty."     Judie Gumm

Born in upstate New York, Judie Gumm settled in Alaska in 1972. Largely self- taught, she has been designing jewelry for more than 30 years and works almost exclusively with precious metals in the lost wax technique. Prior to 1984, Judie worked individually on one-of-a-kind and limited edition designs. Since that time she has worked closely with a small staff of skilled artisans who assist her in the production of her work. In 1990 her husband, Dick Gumm, joined her. Their goal is to create jewelry hand-crafted for a lifetime of enjoyment at an affordable price.
