Trent. W. West has had a successful 32 year career as a jewelry
designer, goldsmith and gemologist owning retail stores in Carmel,
Aptos, Capitola and Venice California. Trent's heritage in the
jewelry business has been creating one of a kind hand fabricated
gold and platinum diamond engagement rings.
Throughout Trent's career he has achieved success by creating
jewelry emphasizing clean, fluid lines with a minimum of clutter.
His main inspiration has always been in observing the natural
tapered effects in nature. How water flows in a path or how plants
and animals are made up of a series of tapered elements. He
believes the human mind has to work much harder to look at angles
and squares verses natural flowing shapes.
Trent began R&D on the worlds first hard metal bands after
he was inspired by a wrist watch given to him made primarily from
Tungsten Carbide. Trent's vision was to create fine wedding bands
that combine a totally unique look along with incredible endurance
and long lasting beauty. He was awarded a Patent in 1999 for the
designs and another patent is pending for it's unique process of
manufacturing.
