About the Designer

Internationally recognized, John Kennedy’s works reflect some of the most progressive and innovative designs in modern jewelry. His Cylette® Collection utilizes a concept so unique it was awarded two U.S. patents, unprecedented in the jewelry industry. Kennedy’s Cylinders of Color embody gemstones set in gold and platinum that are cut in cylindrical shape to transmit light rather than reflect it. This technique releases the vivid color of the gemstones in ways not found in traditional jewelry. Self-taught, Kennedy has been creating jewelry for over forty years. He originated and introduced new gem setting techniques he calls the ‘aperture’ and ‘capture’ setting. His work can only be found in a handful of galleries around the world, and continues to be in demand by collectors. ZFolio is the only gallery in California where his work is offered.
