Since he was a boy, Tom Herman has been an artist. In 1982, he channeled his artistic talents into his new business, Seven Fingers Jewelers, named for his own hand print after having lost three fingers as a child in a Minnesota farming accident. Over the last 30 years, Tom has become a master jewelry maker, renowned for his talents at working with precious stones, metal carving, and unique designs. 

Tom’s timeless pieces are inspired by organic forms and geometric balance. His beautiful carving in gold and platinum reflect these inspirations. In designs that centerpiece precious stones, Tom begins by searching through piles of opals, agates, or other precious materials to find unique stones that, in his words, “are able to take on a greater meaning”. With this vision, Tom cuts each stone and frames it in a way to bring out its natural beauty.

Throughout his work, Tom has cultivated his talents and created pieces of art that will be worn and admired for many generations to come.

Tom's son Ethan Herman has been working with him in the studio since 2013.
