Others will also include 14-Karat Gold embellished with black or white diamonds. These custom pieces will allow fans to choose from any of Rock's historic works to be converted into wearable art, thanks to the incredible precision of Robert Pepkin and The Jewelry Studio team, some of whom have been together for over 40 years. These creators of fine jewelry have advanced technologies from 3D Printing to Computer Aided Design (CAD) at their disposal to make each custom piece as unique as the bold images that have enamored fans of Mick Rock's classic works for decades.
