For over two centuries, the Asch and Grossbardt families have had a meaningful presence in the fine-jewelry industry.  Today, the Asch/Grossbardt company is world renowned as the premier manufacturer of fine inlaid gold jewelry.

Examining the creations of AschGrossbardt is very much like admiring a celebrated private art collection.  Each piece is a remarkably precise execution of an artistic vision.  Tiny pieces of spectacular gemstones are transformed into seamless, beautiful patterns in the nearly forgotten art of inlay.

Based on the ancient jewelry-making traditions of mosaics, which was developed and perfected by Florentine craftsmen during the Renaissance, this exquisitely executed inlaid jewelry resembles the stained-glass windows of a glorious European cathedral.

Unlike enamel, which is applied on top of the metal, inlaid jewelry involved hand-cutting and hand-setting small pieces of semiprecious stones to create an intricate, predetermined mosaic pattern.  Highly skilled artisans follow the designer's "map" with painstaking precision and attention to detail.

Each piece of Asch/Grossbardt inlaid jewelry is a study in superb craftsmanship.  Once every stone is set, the piece is lapped on a wheel until it is so smooth that when you close your eyes and run your finger over the surface, it is impossible to tell where one stone ends and another begins.  Although AschGrossbardt inlaid jewelry pieces are woks or art, they are also extremely durable and are guaranteed to withstand ordinary everyday wear.

The Asch/Grossbardt collection is celebrated for its craftsmanship and also for its spectacular color combinations.

Luminous Mother-of-Pearl is paired with jet black Onyx; marine blue Lapis sits side by side with the majestic purple of Sugility.  the company's newest color combinations include the uplifting Mediterranean hues of coral, turquoise and Australian opal.  All Asch/Grossbardt designs are original and copyrighted.  They are available in either fourteen- or eighteen-karat gold.  Many are accented with sparkling diamonds.

Often referred to as "collectors' jewelry," each Asch/Grossbardt piece is a distinctive adornment.  Also, each is a wonderful representation of a lost art featuring breathtaking color and meticulous craftsmanship.  These unique qualities have placed Asch/Grossbardt on the short list of the most coveted collections for true connoisseurs of fine jewelry.  Like any other form of significant art, the fine inlaid jewelry created by Asch/Grossbardt has meaning far beyond its intrinsic value.
