Eko Wright
Artist Bio
Eko jewelry design was created by Eko Wright, a San Francisco-based metalsmith and jewelry artist who specializes in minimalistic sterling silver jewelry. To her, silver represents the simple, subtle and unobtrusive beauty found in Japan, so sterling silver is the perfect medium for translating this into wearable art.
Elements from both the earth and the sky inspire her current designs. Her Botanical Collection highlights rustic organic shapes fabricated by hammer work that creates distinct three-dimensional forms, which are influenced by wabisabi, the imperfect simplicity of nature.
Eko’s Galaxy Collection features geometric shapes suggesting the mystery and infinity of the cosmos. The open circles also symbolize enlightenment, strength and elegance characterized by the minimalism found in Japanese aesthetics. The hand-set gemstones in her Dreams-Come-True line represent stars with the hope that whoever wears these pieces will see their dreams come true.
Eko’s jewelry honors nature, the material, and the individual. She seeks to project serenity and tranquility in every piece she creates.
