J.L. LAWSON & CO.

For years, Anthony Lawson dabbled in jewelry design.  But like most guys, he didn’t wear much jewelry himself.  The only piece he did wear was a stainless steel ring that his father, a veteran machinist, made for him as a gift.  That ring eventually prompted Anthony to reexamine his approach to designing jewelry and led him to create J.L. Lawson & Co., a collection of men’s accessories based on simplicity and good old fashioned craftsmanship.

Anthony named his collection in honor of his grandfather, Jimmie Leonard Lawson, a machinist for more than sixty years who taught the trade to his three sons.  Anthony designs all of the pieces, which are then machined by his father by hand in the high desert town of Joshua Tree on the same equipment his grandfather used.

There is an archival quality to all of the pieces in J.L. Lawson & Co.’s collection.  They feel like perfectly preserved heirlooms that have been passed down for generations.  Here’s a closer look.
