Texture, color, and dimension are elements that Rishar like to incorporate into his jewelry. He hopes to achieve the same impact that a fine work of sculpture or painting has, only on a much smaller scale. The challenge is to create a piece of sculpture that is wearable. The jewelry is constructed in sterling silver and 14K gold, set with semi-precious gemstones.

Born in 1948 in Algeria and raised in Morocco, Rishar has exhibited his works in jewelry, painting and sculpture nationally for the past 25 years. He maintains a studio in Lake Worth, Florida and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
