Stacie Hess is a designer and fine jeweler whose work centers on form, material, and permanence. Her practice is grounded in high-karat gold and shaped by a background in photography and visual storytelling, where she developed a disciplined eye for proportion, light, and restraint.

Raised in Hawai‘i, she grew up around gold jewelry worn daily — pieces with weight, sound, and presence. That early relationship to material continues to inform her work, treating jewelry not as ornament or trend, but as objects meant to be lived with and carried forward over time.

After years immersed in the high jewelry world through photography, Hess transitioned into making, working directly in wax and gold. Today, Stacie Hess Jewels produces a focused body of fine jewelry defined by sculptural clarity, material integrity, and longevity.
