Daniel Jocz was born in Beloit, Wisconsin in 1943. He pursued formal training in sculpture, earning a BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art in 1966 and an MFA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1969. Beginning his career as a sculptor in the 1960s, Jocz turned to jewelry-making in the 1980s. He taught himself metalworking through trial and error. Much of Jocz’s early jewelry features simple geometric forms, machined surfaces and other elements that relate to his earlier sculpture. Later series demonstrate Jocz’s experimentation, utilizing unusual materials and organic forms. His 1999 Candy Wear series is composed of neon-colored rayon-flocked pieces.

We have 5 objects that Daniel Jocz has been involved with.

There are 3 pieces of jewelry in the frame: one brooch and two bracelets that are designed the same way. The brooch is in the shape of an 'X', yellow in color, and appears to have a soft, crushed velvet-like exterior. It is medium/large in size. The two bracelets are circular in shape, one fuchsia and the other orange, with a total of 5 spherical protrusions evenly spaced out, along the bracelets soft exterior. These spherical protrusions are not the same material as the bracelet, in fact, they are made of a metal substance. A metal sliver on two opposing sides of the bracelet, cuts it in half; however, both halves remain together in one piece.

A tiara covered in a crushed velvet-like material, has a yellow-green band, and a large red sphere that rests off to the (viewers) left side of that band. Beneath the tiara band are 5 long teeth protruding, to secure the tiara in place when in use.

A large yellow circular bracelet with various spherical protrusions in red, pink, and orange. The bracelet in its entirety appears to have a soft, crushed velvet-like exterior. A metal sliver on two opposing sides of the bracelet, cuts it in half; however, both halves remain together in one piece.

We have 1 video that features Daniel Jocz.
