Born July 18, 1957 in Portland, Oregon, Joseph R. Brinton is a talented artist, ceramist, sculptor and jewelry designer. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics from Alfred University in upstate New York in 1982. After graduation, he returned to his native Portland and worked as a designer for several years. In 1993, he opened his own business, Joseph Brinton Designs, specializing in clay sculpture and design.
Over time, the designer became interested in creating jewelry. In 2012, he founded the eponymous company “Joseph Brinton Jewelry” registered at 5001 SE Brooklyn St, Portland.
Handcrafting animal and contemporary aesthetic designs (mostly earrings), he used silver-filled or 14-carat rolled gold for the hypoallergenic earpieces. A variety of materials included etched brass, copper, surgical steel, aluminium, wood, leather, glass, enamels and acrylic. The designer did not sign his jewelry and sold his creations on branded cards in boutiques and art fairs. Founded in 2012, Joseph Brinton Jewelry Company ceased to exist in 2020. Joseph Brinton has been owned by Beautiful Medusa in Oregon since 2022.
