Taking nature and the equestrian form as his subject, Darren K. Moore creates original jewelry of his own design and fashions customized pieces that capture his clients’ visions.
Darren grew up in the bluegrass of Kentucky, so creating his art is more than just a production; it’s a way of putting a little of himself and his love for his home state into every client’s piece. Much like the pedigrees of the amazing horses themselves, Darren’s story runs deep with the rolling hills and horse farms of the commonwealth of Kentucky.
There are few sporting events in the world quite like the races, where culture and personality combine in individual fashion. From the elegant to the audacious, there is something to be found at the track for everyone. It is our pleasure to play a part in helping each person demonstrate their love for the horses in their own unique and individual way.
We are convinced of the value of remembering, whether you’re remembering the attending of an event or your own horse’s trip to the winner’s circle. We are honored to have the opportunity to work closely with our clients to create custom pieces, turning their unique vision into a piece of fine jewelry that they can truly treasure for a lifetime.
Darren K. Moore has been handcrafting fine jewelry for over three decades. Born and raised in the bluegrass of Kentucky, he grew up surrounded by the stables and rolling hills of Kentucky horse farms. Later, this childhood environment would come to inform and enrich his work in the art of jewelry.
Darren started painting at a young age, taking the natural environment as his subject. This formed an important foundation for the jewelry artist he would become. To this day, he initiates each new work with a sketch to capture the full sense of depth and perspective. He also incorporates sculptural elements consisting of multiple pieces finely formed and finished into a strikingly dynamic whole.
His work has been bought by discerning clients from around the world, and is featured in the Kentucky Derby Museum, in Louisville, KY as well as at The Keeneland Store, in Lexington KY.
Recently, Darren was honored as a finalist for his high quality workmanship in the Keeneland Masters of Craft Awards!
