Stephen MacDowell

Stephen MacDowell is a Toronto born jewellery designer. He studied jewellery as part of an interdisciplinary fine arts degree at NSCAD University, where he graduated in 2005.

He continues to create jewellery and other works of art and music. Much of Stephens' jewellery has an 'organic' quality and is inspired from natural forms and structures, but he also derives inspiration from sculptural, architectural and industrial forms.

Stephen's pieces are essentially small scale sculptures, intended to be viewed on the body. As such they are both tactile objects, begging to be touched, designed to be both comfortable to wear and to compliment the body's naturally beautiful form. Most of his works are one of a kind or in very limited series.
