ARTIST PROFILE
Etienne Perret, the designer jeweler of Camden, Maine USA. Has grown beyond the borders of his town and state, and is reaching the world over to supply some of the finest retailers and private collectors with his unique vision of gold and platinum jewelry.

A summer retreat to Maine from the academic rigors of the University of Vermont in Burlington acquainted Etienne Perret with the picturesque coastal town of Camden Maine in 1973. The magnetic charm of this town pulled at him after he returned to Vermont. Visions of carving a life out of the rugged coastline of Maine pursued Etienne until he gave up his academic studies, and at the age of 19 loaded his possessions into his little truck and sought his dream. In Camden he rented a little shop and pursued his hobby of silversmithing, selling his wares to the general public and making custom pieces for those that enjoyed his fusion of art, fashion and jewelry. The son of Swiss parents, Etienne naturally incorporates a European design sense with an American flair for fashion in all that he does.

Etienne Perret now holds a Bachelor of fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design and a graduate gemologists degree from the Gemological institute of America. He has won two Diamonds of Distinction awards, and has twice been a finalist in the prestigious Diamonds International Design Competition. His works are currently being featured by the Platinum Guild International for his innovative uses of Platinum in jewelry.

A combination of unique vision, marketing savvy, and a lot of hard work has allowed Etienne Perret and Company to grow internationally. His work can be viewed in fine retail stores such as I. Gorman, Grannis Gallery, Hamilton Hill, and Servis & Taylor as well by appointment at his own salon in Camden, Maine.
