Who is Behind the Asch Grossbardt Designs?

If you are an inlaid jewelry aficionado, you are undoubtedly familiar with the Asch Grossbardt name. But who is the mysterious jewelry designer who has a unique eye for stone and metal combinations?

Behind the Asch Grossbardt name, there were initially Larry Asch, Jerome Grossbardt, and Grossbardt’s son, Eric. Although only Eric is still alive, the jewelry empire bearing the iconic name remains functional. What sets apart this design house from others is the focus on inlays that are not just stunning but as close to perfect as a design can get. Combining dramatic color combinations with a broad range of metals, Asch Grossbardt artistry is easy to recognize.

Case in point is the silver and 18k yellow gold bangle bracelet with inlaid mother of pearl. To add definition to the piece, artisans paired the mother of pearl with black onyx. The iridescent quality of the former finds a boost in the dark tones of the latter. A natural quartz top finishes the presentation.

When you like the vibrant blues and reds of lapis and coral respectively, you cannot go wrong with these inlay earrings. They present with silver and 18k yellow gold that artisans shaped into attractive designs. Inlaid coral, lapis, onyx, mother of pearl and malachite create the colorful designs.

The combination of inlays with multiple curvatures brings movement to the pieces. A good example is this Asch Grossbardt silver and 18k yellow gold inlaid mother of pearl pendant. Having shaped the pendant with swirl-like indentations, you already notice a bit of movement in the lines of the design. Adding the white, black and yellow mother of pearl in curved strips completes the illusion.

A set of inlaid clip post earrings follows the same design appeal . Once again, there is the combination of 18k yellow gold and silver. This time, jewelers chose white, yellow, gray and pink mother of pearl for the inlays. The curving of the silver begins the illusion of movement, which the gold inlay separators continue.

There is no such thing as a misshapen Asch Grossbardt jewel. The keen eye for spatial proportions of the designers ensures the beautiful nature of each piece. Some have likened shopping for this jewelry house’s pieces like a glimpse at someone’s personal collection. These folks are not far off the mark. The almost personalized quality of the presentation makes each piece an nearly individualized display. Since the jewels are budget-friendly for most collectors, this is actually a good thing.
