Margaret Thurman and her daughter, co-designer Myoshin Thurman, are the design team behind Echo of the Dreamer. It is Margaret's dramatic style paired with Myoshin's delicate workmanship that results in this bold collection of jewelry with a singular organic design sensibility.

Begun in 1993, Echo of the Dreamer continues to create inspiring collections season after successful season. The result is a stunning lineup of hand-made, truly one-of-a-kind jewelry; modern and feminine, yet rich and sophisticated. The pillar of the designs is the varied stones - which Thurman refers to as “art by God" - in breathtaking colors, patterns and textures. “We often use rare and exotic stones in unusual combinations: tourmalines, Laguna agates, druzies, shells, opals and rough diamonds," Thurman says, describing just some of the exquisite components used to create their bold rings, multi-strand necklaces, and ornate pins and bracelets. Each piece is a work of art.? “I often hear from people many years later who tell me they still treasure their timeless talismans," Thurman notes.

Constantly on the lookout for unusual minerals and stones they like to deal directly with small individual miners whenever possible. It can be a challenge to set in silver or gold the odd shapes and textures of these rare stones, but it’s a challenge Echo of the Dreamer meets time and again striking the perfect balance between raw and refined. “Our jewelry has been aptly described as modern organic and bohemian chic," Thurman notes. “We want to remain in touch with trends, but not be a slave to them. Our style is current but timeless."

When asked about formative influences on their current creative vision Thurman sites Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, the Buddha and Picasso; their singular pieces are inspired by the cultures of the world, reflecting a celebration of nature and the elements. Always sought out for its exceptional quality and unique design, Echo of the Dreamer was even commissioned to create custom pieces for the Nicole Miller Spring 2005 Show.

The magic of these unique pieces continually makes real Thurman’s belief that dreaming is an infinite extension of the artistic impulse. Hence the name “Echo of the Dreamer." May their jewelry awaken the dreamer in you.
