Welcome to the studio and showcase of jeweler / metal smith Brian Bishop. Brian has been
designing and hand crafting fine gold jewelry for over 30 years on his home, St. Croix, US Virgin
Islands.
Crucian is a name describing anything from St. Croix. Being a native Crucian, the designer proudly
named
his establishment Crucian Gold. His work has always paid tribute to the beauty and history of the
Virgin
Islands and the Caribbean, specializing in the art of knot tying that he learned as a professional
diver
and sailor.
Choose from an array of hand tied, decorative knots and abstract designs to the artist's detailed
renditions of colonial architecture.
Llewellyn Westerman
was born on the island of Nevis in the British Leeward Islands. He
first came to St. Croix aboard the cargo ship The New Idea, then a second time aboard Endeavor. He
did
not have to pay fare, because, as he explains, "...they knew me from around the
water."
Llew Westerman says, “Sailing is in my blood. My father and his brother, and my grandfather, were
all
sailors. My father was very good at reciting limericks too. He had a great sense of humor. Growing
up
in Nevis, we were always singing in school. I just kept on singing.”
In 1960, Westerman moved to St. Croix. Two weeks after he arrived, he was standing on the dock in
Christiansted watching a native sloop sailing out. “I said to the captain later, 'I'm going
to
sail that boat', and I did, doing day charters over to Buck Island,” he recalls. Westerman
continues his Buck Island charters today on his Crucian-built Mongoose 37 trimaran,
Charis
