History
Established in 2001.
In 2001 I had been making jewelry for around seven or eight years, mostly for myself and my friends. As my work started to get noticed by friends, and friends of friends, I realized that this could be something that I could pursue on a more serious level. I knew the business needed a name - something that embraced my love for machines, decaying urban surroundings, the obscure, and the organic. The word "sprag" kept popping into my head, so I went with it. I bounced between different names, when, finally, a friend suggested I add "werks" to the end. "Spragwerks" was born...in 2003 I moved from Cliffside Park NJ , to Greenpoint Brooklyn.... and in 2006 I made the big move to L.A.
Meet the Business Owner: Rich S.
My prior career as a heavy-duty diesel mechanic, as well as my upbringing in the post-industrial wasteland of northeastern New Jersey, clearly informed my aesthetic. My work explores the tense intersection of the organic by the industrial, and particularly the consumption of one by the other. Each piece goes through my hands, and all jewelry is cast Los Angeles and hand-finished by me. Because of the hands-on approach to making jewelry, each piece is unique. Everything is made on an as-needed basis. My main objective is to create designs in which form follows function. SPRAGWERKS is made to last a more than lifetime, and I personally back each piece with a lifetime warranty. One of my strongest beliefs is that fads come and go, but style lasts forever.
