Timothy Stammen is the artist and master craftsman behind Bezalel. Through Bezalel Timothy creates collections of one-of-a-kind hand-made jewels. He designs and makes less than ten high jewels a year. Many are only seen by the private collectors that own them. His goal is to take select pieces from his collection and mint them as an NFTs.
What would a High Jewelry Bezalel NFT be?
- The physical art jewel
- The Jewel will be represented by a digital expression by Champ Smith from The Spanglish Studio for Bezalel (virtual, cinematic art piece, 10 - 30 seconds?)
- Original Rendering (Renderings are first watercolor on paper with touchups in Photoshop)
- The Jewelry Box will carry a chip containing the minted cryptographic hash that is stored on the blockchain
- The Jewel will also be engraved with the cryptographic hash
THE SPARK
The First Bezalel NFT
My intention for The Spark is that it would be a ring that ignites an explosion. The ring was designed to launch my brand into the world of high jewelry. It has close to 200 hours of craftsmanship showing off finely matched colorless diamonds, emeralds and a 5.63 ct. cushion cut sapphire. This is a one-of-a-kind jewel that is labeled as 01-01 and the first jewel to carry the BEZALEL logo engraved inside the band.
(Coming Bezalel NFTs)
MASTER GARDNER COLLECTION
The second wave of NFT jewels will be from the first Bezalel high jewelry collection to be designed around a theme. This theme is an original poem entitled The Master Gardener by Timothy. Each jewel will be inspired by the life, principals, tools and fruit of the master gardener. The NFT jewels will be released bi-annually or quarterly.
THE MASTER GARDENER
He left the ground fallow for a time
Anticipating the perfect moment
Tilling
Sowing
Grafting
Pruning
Then
A great harvest
So ripe
So full
So delightful
She couldn't resist
Queen Anne’s Lace Amulet
Piece 1 (In Process)
Queen Anne’s Lace seed is often sown around the Master Gardeners garden. It creates a wall that many pests won’t pass through. The wildflower is a significant barrier of protection that allows the fruit to grow in peace.
It is for these reasons that Timothy has decided to make an amulet inspired by this humble wildflower. The Queen Anne’s Lace Amulet is both a pendant and brooch that is purposefully intended to be worn over or near the heart.
Not Yet Titled
Piece 2 (In Process)
Soil needs nutrients in order to grow and produce more life. Fallow ground may not be the most beautiful aspect of the growth process, but can’t you see The Master Gardener picking up a transitioning leaf on a crisp fall morning covered in dew. I like to think his mind is pondering and anticipating all the good that is being transferred into his garden soil.
