John Paul, a Bend-based metalsmith, has been crafting fine jewelry for over two decades. After honing his skills in Wisconsin and Colorado, he found his home in Bend. Here, he began his journey in a garage, eventually opening a storefront studio and gallery. Inspired by a neighboring blacksmith, he incorporated iron into his work, creating a unique blend of traditional and contemporary techniques. Today, John Paul continues to explore the unknown, driven by a passion for joyful discovery.
JPD is known for durable pieces designed for outdoor adventures; he collaborates closely with clients to bring their vision to life. From revamping existing jewelry to creating something entirely new, we offer personalized designs and expert craftsmanship.
John Paul’s work carries the weight of a long history of craftsmanship and has a presence that is best experienced in person. Next time you find yourself in beautiful downtown Bend, Oregon, swing by for a tour of our current collection. There’s magic in holding the pieces, turning them over and over in your hand, enjoying the feel of the forged textures of the earth: stone, lava, sand, and leather.
