Nick Liebowitz’s “Star on a Chain”

He sells some of the 
stones he mines “as is” 
to other jewelers and 
hobbyists and buys some 
additional stones. He maps 
each stone’s flaws, color, 
clarity and other features 
and starts planning how to 
use them in jewelry.
Liebowitz has turned 
the garage at his home, 
where he lives with his 
wife, Andrea, and his son, 
Izzy, 2, into an art studio. 
He says carving in stone 
has become his specialty. 
He uses a fantasy cut 
that enables him to etch 
designs into the bottom 
of the stone using a 
mathematical pattern he 
developed based on the 
Fibonacci sequence and 
the “golden ratio,” a natural 
design often seen in plants 
and trees. Last year, he 
produced about 100 carved 
stones. This year he hopes 

to double that amount.
He says he’d like to do 
one stone a day, “but the 
reality is I have a 2-year-
old son.”
He doesn’t have a store 
and sells mainly via 
Facebook and Instagram as 
well as by word-of-mouth. 
Some customers buy a 
finished piece; others buy 
the stone and then ask 
him to turn it into a piece 
of their choosing, like a 
pendant or a ring.
In July, Liebowitz, a 
member of Adat Shalom 
Synagogue, will be selling 
his creations at the Ann 
Arbor Art Fair, at a booth 
run by a friend who owns 
Abracadabra, a jewelry 
store in Ann Arbor.
