Thomas Gentille

American artist Thomas Gentille is represented by nine pieces in the permanent collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, more than any other contemporary jeweler. A master of materials, he uses anything that suits his aesthetic — eggshell inlay, wood, pure pigment, aluminum, zinc, resin, pumice, and even sawdust — to create works that are small in scale but monumental in scope. A technical innovator and mentor for many jewelers over the years, Gentille was an early director of the stellar jewelry program at the 92nd Street Y in New York and is theauthor of Step-by-Step Jewelry (1968), a publication acknowledged by many metalsmiths as a standard text.
