John Iversen (born 1953, Hamburg, Germany) is a New York–based jeweler and goldsmith known for finely executed, nature‑inspired designs, including work created with the historical “nature casting” technique; he apprenticed in Vancouver, Canada, studied at the Staatliche Zeichen Academy in Hanau, and moved to New York City in the late 1970s to establish his career. His pieces—often evoking petals, seeds, leaves, pebbles, and other organic forms—have appeared on fashion magazine covers, been exhibited internationally, and are represented in major institutions including the Renwick Gallery and the Museum of Arts and Design. Iversen’s honors include the George Jensen Award at the Smithsonian Craft Show, the Ornament Magazine Excellence in Jewelry Award, the Vendura Prize for Jewelry at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, and the Herbert Hofmann Award at Schmuck 2010 in Munich.
