Red Agate Necklace

Anne Rob

My jewelry designs reflect my background: 1. Education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, The Hague, Netherlands. 2. Training and subsequent employment in engineering drafting. 3. An abiding love of nature. Given my diverse background, my jewelry reflects design contrasts that still augment each other, thus sustaining my interest in the art and craft of jewelry making. My jewelry begins with sketches of shapes and proportions and then I decide what materials, surface details and textures to use. These elements have to be combined in a final, exciting design before the piece of jewelry is executed in metal.
