About December West

Todd Krieger has been making jewelry for about four decades. His original work has evolved from the whimsical to recycled and repurposed pieces that typically incorporate the sparkle of classic costume jewelry findings. Todd draws his inspiration from his childhood love of electromechanical devices and the surprising symmetry of their design.

In the late 1980s, a gallery wanted to resell his brooches, and he needed a brand name for the display card. He created a name from a poem he'd written years earlier: December West.

When he isn’t making jewelry or writing, Todd works as inhouse legal counsel at a global software company headquartered in Boston.
