John Atencio Goldsmith, LTD. was founded in 1976 by John Atencio – the company’s current Designer, President, Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder. Mr. Atencio launched his jewelry designs with the opening of his first retail store in Fort Collins, Colorado. 1978 marked an important turning point in the company’s history when it responded to growing demand and opened its flagship store in Denver, the first of four stores in the Denver Metro area. Throughout the ‘80s John Atencio established an important national reputation with his unique combination of bold, geometric shapes, precious metals, distinctive and inspired design, and superb craftsmanship. Simultaneously, the John Atencio jewelry company garnered attention for its proven business strategy using retail stores as the foundation, and in essence, artist’s gallery. The vertical integration of design, manufacturing, retail and wholesale distribution was unheard of at the time and has since become a model that has been replicated throughout the designer jewelry sector. In 1988, Mr. Atencio was accepted as a member of the elite American Jewelry Council. His creations were further recognized internationally, including three DeBeers Diamonds of Distinction awards for his unique designs. |
