Mark Pike

I am a part time jeweler and full time dentist raised in North Carolina. At an early age i was exposed to the rich and diverse ecosystems and all the wildlife North Carolina has to offer. I certainly owe my love of the outdoors to my father who was an avid outdoorsman.

While obtaining my BS in Biology from the UNC-Chapel Hill, my outdoor adventures turned more and more toward our coast. I dove most of the shipwrecks frequented by North Carolina divers and, while dive mastering Charters, I fished, boated, camped, and beach combed from Corolla to Calabash. As you can imagine, this coast is a big part of who I am.

After completing my undergraduate, I attended the Medical University of South Carolina, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. During my training, I was introduced to the “Lost Wax” casting technique which sparked my love of casting jewelry.

My passion to design, build, and bring to reality is evident my three US Patents and having several items marketed within the dental industry.

Becoming an artisan of cast jewelry has been a coming together of these loves and, as my collection has grown, I have started introducing custom orders and pieces that extend beyond coastal themes.
