Bill & Rocky: Jewelers, Designers, Metalsmiths
Bill Wismar began his journey in 1976 as a goldsmith’s apprentice under his father, mastering old world techniques and a deep respect for craftsmanship. Inspired by his upbringing on the Texas Gulf Coast, Bill creates jewelry that blends natural forms with contemporary flair. Each piece is substantial, wearable art—miniature sculptures crafted to be passed down for generations.
Rocky Pardo, Managing Partner since 2026, brings over 20 years of experience as a fine art jeweler. Discovered by Bill at the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival, she shares his commitment to craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Her work incorporates hand fabrication, alloying, reticulation, fusing, keum boo, and stone setting to create textured pieces that balance raw and refined elements. Inspired by a life between the United States and Spain, her frequent travel informs celestial influences—sun, moon, and stars—reflected in designs that are both elegant and easy to wear.
