About Sandy Sanderson
Sandy is a master jeweler, sculptor, metalsmith
and designer, trained at The Gemological Institute of America,
the Revere Academy in San Francisco, and the bench for 35 years.
I am a jeweler, sculptor, designer, and a third generation local in the beautiful Mono Basin. As the son of a gold miner and old western sheriff, I grew up tunneling, drilling, blasting and shoveling, learning applied natural sciences, while filling all my spare time creating beautiful things.
I discovered that jewelry making would integrate all my passions: love of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, art, science, and a strong desire to create.
This always changing relationship has evolved into 34 years of jewelry making experience, giving me the knowledge and skills to accomplish my most complex and artistic visions.
After 60 years I’ m still living my dream on the eastern cheek of the High Sierra – sharing my Mountain Scene Jewelry with folks from all over the world.
