Meet the Artist: Tess Backhus at Wyatt Houston Mercantile

Join us for an evening with celebrated jewelry designer Tess Backhus, whose one-of-a-kind and limited-edition creations are inspired by the natural world and shaped by a lifetime of exploration.

Living in the mountains of Colorado for over 35 years, Tess brings together semi-precious stones, antique pendants, and rare found objects to craft jewelry that is both timeless and deeply personal. Her distinctive collections—“Ancient Ones,” “Earth Palette,” and “Pastels and Pearls”—blend traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility, influenced by landscapes from the mountains to the sea and the cultural traditions of people around the globe.

With clients from New York to California and abroad, Tess’s work is shown nationally through galleries and trunk shows. This special evening offers a rare chance to meet the artist in person, hear the stories behind her process, and explore her latest designs.

We invite you to discover the beauty and meaning behind Tess’s extraordinary work, connect with a vibrant community of art and design lovers, and enjoy a relaxed evening at Wyatt Houston Mercantile.
