The concept was born in 1991, when Sergio Gutierrez welded strands of industrial ball chain together. What emerged was an innovative new medium: structural mesh transformed into an art form. Sergio’s Liquid Metal Collection reflects his artistic vision through bold jewelry and accessories that merge vintage style with modern technology.
At the heart of his designs is a sensuous and distinctive mesh that is both contemporary and timeless. Prized for their comfort and originality, Sergio’s creations are designed to be worn daily—like a second skin, an extension of the self.
Sergio Gutierrez was born in Colombia, where he studied electronic engineering while living in Medellín. In 1991, he moved to San Francisco, where he began researching ways to use ball chain to create a mesh-like fabric. After two years, he developed what became the foundation of his Liquid Metal Mesh line of jewelry and accessories.
In 1994, designer Betsey Johnson was the first to approach Sergio about creating exclusive designs for her chain of retail stores. She carried his line for two years.
In 1996, Sergio relocated to Miami. Soon after, his company grew with the addition of clients such as Nordstrom, Bebe, Cache, W Hotels, and hundreds of boutiques. These collaborations dazzled customers of all ages, establishing his collections as timeless adornments to wear.
Sergio’s creativity and vision continued to expand. He developed techniques for incorporating his Liquid Metal Mesh with leather bags, bracelets, belts, jackets, jeans, pants, and skirts.
In 2003, he was granted a patent for a unique technique he named “Liquid Microchip.” In this process, electronic circuitry components are altered to resemble delicate, intricate decorative elements. Sergio fondly refers to them as “the skeletons of today’s technology.” These “skeletons” are incorporated into his mesh objects and leather creations.
His designs have been collected and worn by celebrities such as Demi Moore, Cher, Patricia Wettig, Marilyn Manson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Toni Braxton, Sharon Stone, Thalía, Tyra Banks, Julie Warner, Sigourney Weaver, Anna Gunn (Skyler White in Breaking Bad), Coco Austin, Nicole Kidman, and many more. His work has also been featured in films.
People who wear his jewelry and accessories daily often describe them as an extension of themselves, valuing the comfort and uniqueness of the exquisite mesh designs Sergio has created.
