John Atencio

Colorado based designer John Atencio began his accomplished career over 30 years ago humbly selling his unique designs from his vintage Volkswagen van. As an experienced and skillful designer, he marries crisp sterling silver and bold 18-karat yellow gold into unique pieces that are inspired by the shapes around us.

His creations imitate, in form, function and symbolism, the subtle geometry found in nature. The circular shapes signify the continuous golden circle of family and friends. Triangular shapes represent the connecting relationships that harmonize our lives and the etched lines signify the lines of human communication that have existed since the beginning of time.

The John Atencio collections attract loyal customers who are dedicated to his innovation and craftsmanship. Each year marks the creation of several exceptional additions to John's already extensive and award winning collection.
