I do a lot of work there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That innate creativity, these days, is funneled into a number of mediums, including the design and creation of jewelry and accessories sold at more than 500 stores around the world. \u201cI have two brands I create: Jak &amp; Fox, which is my affordable jewelry and accessories line, and Jeffrey Burroughs New York, which is my fine jewelry and accessories,\u201d they say. \u201cWhile I create collections for both, what I love doing the most is working on custom pieces with clients\u2014whether it\u2019s a ceremonial piece, customizing a piece from an existing collection, something completely original or creating something new from an older piece of jewelry.\u201d They specialize in precious metals and semi-precious and precious stones.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63670\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63670\" class=\"wp-image-63670\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-810x554.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-1140x779.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-145x100.jpg 145w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-Artist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel04-copy-2-380x260.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-63670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeffrey Burroughs, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nature remains, as it has since childhood, a source of inspiration. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019ve always been into handmade pieces because I like the more organic nature of things,\u201d Burroughs says. Sometimes, but not always, that translates into designing without perfection in mind. \u201cThere are places and times for perfection,\u201d they say. \u201cIf we\u2019re making an engagement ring and a wedding band, those sometimes need to be perfect to sit together so that they\u2019re flush. So there comes a point where precision is necessary, but I resist it naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The plethora of creative ideas helps Burroughs navigate their markets. \u201cI feel that one of my great successes is that I\u2019ve always been a good business person as well as an artist,\u201d they say. \u201cI think that\u2019s one of the things that\u2019s interesting about being in fine jewelry is that it really does force you to think not just as an artist but also as a business person.\u201d To please across the board, Burroughs has several collections, including Ancient Future\u00ae, Luminance, and Twisted Jewelry. \u201cMy Everyday Luxe collection is my most successful because it\u2019s high-quality everyday jewelry, and a lot of everyday jewelry is not high-quality,\u201d Burroughs says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63668\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63668\" class=\"wp-image-63668\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Feature-ARtist-cJohnson-Jeffrey-Burroughs-Laurel02-copy-2-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-63668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeffrey Burroughs, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Besides jewelry, Burroughs\u2019 shop, Jeffrey, also sells their line of leather goods that utilize calf, goat, python and ostrich skins.
