SIGNATURE WORK
Certain works within the BSBEE Designs collection represent defining moments in Bruce Bauer’s artistic and technical evolution. These pieces bring together rare materials, sculptural form, and advanced craftsmanship to fully express his approach to wearable sculpture. Often inspired by wildlife, landscape, and natural structure, these works demonstrate how stone, metal, and subject interact as a unified composition. They serve as both collector reference points and foundations for future custom commissions.
Storm Clouds at Sea
A sculptural composition centered around boulder opal, incorporating Keum-Boo gold and hand-formed metalwork to evoke movement, atmosphere, and natural force.
Kingfisher on Lotus
A carved opal composition created using Ishidashi metal forming, balancing delicate structural engineering with organic sculptural form.
Beehive Cuff No. 1
A complex sculptural cuff integrating carved amber, silver construction, and gold fusion techniques, reflecting Bruce’s exploration of natural geometry.
Peaceful Marsh
A narrative landscape composition using opalized petrified wood and sculptural wildlife forms, emphasizing environmental observation and material harmony.
COMISSIONED WORK
The archive preserves completed works now held in private collections. While exact replicas are never recreated, archived pieces may serve as inspiration for new commissions. Each reinterpretation becomes a new original shaped by available materials.

Each commission begins with a conversation.
Share your inspiration, preferred materials, any signature or current pieces that you would like to reference from to begin the process. Rare stones are limited and not mass-produced, and timeline depends on material availability and sculptural complexity, with most commissions requiring several weeks to complete. Previously completed works cannot typically be altered due to structural integrity, and all custom commissions are final.
