“San Francisco based jewelry designer Sidney Mobell turns the ordinary into extraordinary while tempting the viewer to question their own perception of jeweled art.

For over 30 years, the artist has created elaborate bejeweled works that bring a sense of magic and wonder to everyday household objects.”

He has used precious materials to create diamond- encrusted cell phones, hourglass necklaces filled with 3,000 tiny diamonds, a gold toilet seat and a 23- karat gold and jeweled Monopoly set, valued at $2 million.

In fact, his works have enthralled every one so much so that he has even earned his way into the Guinness Book of World Records.

His work is now featured in the Jeweled Objects of Desire exhibition at the Headley-Whitney Museum, which continues through July 31.
