Maine Lobster Jewelry

Gerard Bianco is first and foremost an artist, passionate about beauty, art, and design. He has been designing and creating jewelry for over forty years and his vision is that of an artist.

Gerard studied painting and design at the Art Students League, the School of Visual Arts, and Parsons School of Design. His extraordinary portrait painting and illustrations have won clients in the entertainment industry and in big business, (Sandra Carter Productions and Merrill Lynch, to name just two). He has received commissions from the United States Navy, and his portrait of Captain Eugene "Red" McDaniel hangs in the museum of the United States Naval Archives in Washington, D.C. He has been represented by Grand Central Art Galleries in Manhattan and has won numerous awards for his works, which can be seen in many private and public collections.

In today's culture of mass-produced, assembly-line products, it's refreshing to encounter an artist who combines the Renaissance tradition of merging jewelry and art. Gerard Bianco is a master at it. His jewelry creations can be described as "uniquely simple" with a focus on strong composition, mixing line and design with bold accents of color. These combinations result in a styled, but wearable, piece of jewelry at a very affordable price.

The Maine Lobster collection and Gerard's many other jewelry designs can be found at his jewelry store, Porte 4 Fine Jewelry, located in the heart of the Old Port section of Portland, Maine.
