Their Workboldly Artistic, Exquisitely Detailed, Hand Wrought, And Inspired By Natureis Now Widely Sought After By Collectors And Museums Alike. From The Worlds First Independent Female Jewelry Makers, To The Woman As Artistic Motif, This Jewelry Reflected Rapid Changes In Definitions Of Femininity And Social Norms.
