Greenwich Jewelers

 

GJ:  Where is your most favorite place to be?

Todd:  My favorite place to be is in my jewelry studio, completely alone.  Besides that, I love the ocean.  I love Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and anywhere along the Atlantic Ocean.  It's all about getting back to the elements.  When you're in the ocean, you are literally inside o fthe Earth.  It's so base and elemental.

 

GJ:  What would you do if you were not a jewelry designer?

Todd:  I'd be an artist.  That's what I consider myself anyways; I'm just a maker of things.  I maintain a full painting and sculpture studio.  Art is what gets me through the day.  Sometimes I can get distracted- by business or by relationships- but I always try to get back to the art; it is my first love.

 

GJ:  What are the three things you cannot live without?

Todd:  The first would be passion.  Second, the spirit of revelation, or constantly unearthing potential.  Third, a day without beauty is a lost day.  Beauty can mean different things to different people, but it's hard to live without beauty.

 

GJ:  If you were a color, what color would you be and why?

Todd:  I'm drawn to blues and greens.  They're colors of outward expression.  Blue is very vocal, while green is a very energetic love color.  I also tend to lean towards orange.  It's the color of self-love.

 

GJ:  If you could only work with one stone for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Todd:  Diamonds.  There's infinite possibilities with diamonds.  There's different textures and colors, from different regions all over the world.

We were first introduced to Todd Reed’s eponymous collection a few years ago at The Couture Show, a trade show presenting the work of the top jewelry designers in the world.  I was intrigued by his alternative style and passion for what some people might consider to be the “ugly ducklings” of the diamond family.  We are thrilled to carry Todd’s collection and proud that Greenwich Jewelers has evolved to the kind of boutique where his work will have a proper home. 

The master of raw and natural diamonds, Todd dismisses the notion that diamonds must be white and polished to be beautiful.  He says, “there is so much more out there and the natural colors and textures are beautiful and wonderful every time.”  His love of all types of diamonds allows him to think outside of the box, combine unique elements, and create truly breathtaking pieces.

Todd handcrafts each piece in his Colorado studio; using 100% recycled precious metals.  This goes along with our belief in design sustainability, and Todd believes it is important “not to take advantage of Mother Earth,” and emphasizes that “the harmony in my process can definitely be felt in the jewelry.”

This unique harmony is what makes Todd’s jewelry truly special.  His pieces represent a true connection to nature, and serve as an intimate form of self-expression.  Todd says the woman who wears his jewelry “will buck tradition to get at what she truly loves,” and has a “have it cake and eat it too” kind of mentality.
