“Ray Griffiths: The Works” tells the story of the master jeweler’s career, which started with an apprenticeship in Australia at age 15.

“Ray Griffiths: The Works” spans five decades of designs by Griffiths whose training began at age 15 as an apprentice in Melbourne, Australia.
Authored by Rima Suqi, the 128-page book shows the evolution of his designs over the years through a series of photographs, starting with the jeweler’s early works to his more recent creations.

The book also tells the story behind the development and patenting of his signature Crownwork technique.
“This is the story of my design experience in New York and how I got here. I am excited for people to learn more about my story and experience the jewelry over the years through all the beautiful photographs,” said Griffiths.
The book is meant as a celebration of his work and as a glimpse into bespoke custom jewelry though his commissioned pieces.
“It serves as an inspiration for jewelry enthusiasts, collectors, and aspiring designers alike,” said his brand.
