Born in the heart of Jackson Hole, Zachariah Turpin is a second-generation jeweler whose life is as richly layered as the heirloom-quality pieces he creates. His passion for craftsmanship began at an early age in his family’s studio, where he learned to work with precious metals and rare stones under the guidance of master artisans. Deeply inspired by the raw beauty of the Tetons and grounded in a reverence for natural form, Zachariah’s approach to design marries technical excellence with narrative depth. Each piece he creates carries a story of connection, celebration, and legacy, meant to be passed down through generations.
Zachariah is a GIA-certified gemologist and an award-winning designer, recognized for his ability to source extraordinary stones and transform them into meaningful works of art. His pieces have been featured in national publications, acquired by private collectors, and worn by clients around the globe. A sought-after collaborator and respected voice in the fine jewelry industry, Zachariah brings a rare blend of artistic vision, global perspective, and deep local roots to every project.
Driven by a belief that jewelry is most powerful when it reflects personal history and place, Zachariah has traveled extensively, from Italy to Hong Kong, in search of ethically sourced gems and design inspiration. Yet no matter how far his work takes him, he always returns home to Jackson Hole, where his flagship studio, Jackson Hole Jewelry Co., serves as a hub for custom craftsmanship and community connection.
Beyond his workbench, Zachariah is a father, adventurer, and community advocate, known for his philanthropic leadership and support of causes ranging from animal adoption to education and the arts. Whether mentoring young artists, collaborating with town officials, or designing pieces that give back, he brings humility, heart, and a spirit of generosity to all he does.
As both an artist and entrepreneur, Zachariah is redefining what it means to create luxury in the modern West, rooted in story, shaped by place, and built to last.
