Technology drives innovation. Freely experimenting with traditional materials allows me to express a new vision. By juxtaposing traditional smithing with advanced laser welding I connect the past and present, build intriguing designs, and exceed the limitations of convention. Bongsang Cho is a South Korea-born metalsmith working in the United States.
This young artist combines traditional techniques of forming metal with new technology to create innovative work. Beautiful, strong and textural, his pieces display the contrast between structural forms and natural beauty of material. Cho earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Metals and Jewelry from Hanyang University in South Korea, and early influences from Korean art and design still resonate in his work.

Bongsang Cho's jewelry is magnificent and eye-catching. His pieces have that WOW-factor that solicit compliments whenever I wear them. They're contemporary and cool, and can be worn with casual as well as dressy outfits. I love how his pins can also be worn on chains. I've commissioned Bongsang to create a pair of earrings, and they turned out perfectly - so perfectly that I wear them several times a week. Bongsang is a lovely man, soft-spoken, kind, and generous, and he listens well to his customers. I recommend him most highly!

If you're the kind of woman who can carry off daring fashions without a backward look these sculptured pieces will thrill you. Bongsang is a young artist creating movement and mystery with metal alongside precious gold and silver. His pieces range from delicate lines to geometric shapes, most can be worn as necklaces or pins but all command attention. Or, for drama and originality try a lacey, oxidized, black cuff bracelet.
