Ian Thomas


Ian Thomas is the creative mind and energy behind Zoa Chimerum

After finishing high school he attended the Rhode Island School of Design and later MassArt in Boston, a city where he remains to this day.  His work represents an attempt to treat nebulous, passing vision as Platonic Ideal; and bring it into manifestation through fierce application of technical virtuosity.

Zoa Chimerum
Zoa Chimerum earrings







Made with re-purposed materials from the electronics industry, this eye-catching jewelry is inspired by the growth patterns of plants and animals. Each piece is lovingly hand made.  As in the natural world, no two are exactly alike. Zoa Chimerum Jewelry is made of rubber over an aluminum core, so the spines won't hurt you when you wear them. They are durable, yet extremely lightweight!
