Patrick Murphy
The rocks, gems, and minerals Patrick works with are a logical extensions of his lifelong interest in the natural world. JCK magazine recognized Murphy Design’s pioneering use of long tapered cabochons in contemporary jewelry when it called him the “bullet king” in May 1989. Patrick has studied design and gemology through the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, the Gemological Institute of America, and the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts.
