About Steven Battelle
Steven Battelle has followed a singular, somewhat circuitous route to his current incarnation as a noted designer of unique treasures of wearable art – capturing the feeling and nuance of bygone civilizations long since disappeared and bringing them forth into the modern age. Diverging from an early interest in painting and the visual arts, Steven initially followed a path into the healing professions. He is certainly unique among designers as one who has also practiced as a veterinarian of exotic animals, as well as all manner of domesticated creatures. Following an unexpected trip to South East Asia in 1987, Steven became fascinated with the imagery and ornamentation of the ancient cultures of Majapahit Java and pre-European Siam, and what began initially as a brief diversion, resulted ultimately in a 180 degree change of life direction.
Drawn particularly to large cabochon (un-faceted) stones, with which the first jewelry from all the ancient cultures of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Asia was made, Steven handpicks unusual precious and semiprecious stones that often carry with them some manner of inherent imperfections. The natural characteristics of the stone become a part of the feeling and energy of the piece. Utilizing both painstaking traditional handmade techniques and current processes, he has developed a line of jewelry that melds the classic line of these ancient motifs into objects of functional and timeless beauty.
