I discovered this Austrian designer of jewelry when we lived in France. She uses a technique as ancient as the hills - that of enameling - but brings to it a fine sensibility and a great passion for different cultures from around the world. I have coveted her jewelry for years...hopefully one day that will turn into the passion of ownership as well!

Here are some examples of her wearable art...
