Vittoria (Vicki) Einfeld, known as one of America’s leading jewelry artists, has been the head of her studio at the Farmington Valley Art Center in West Hartford, Connecticut, for nearly half a century, having founded it in the early 1980s.
Einfeld’s artistic training began with her studies in the fine arts department at Carnegie Mellon University, after which she spent several years studying jewelry and honing her skills in metal and stone work.
VICKI EISENFELD Studio Mokume Dangle Earrings In 14 18 22Kt Gold And Diamonds.
Her creations from the 1980s and 1990s are distinguished by a unique technique reminiscent of weaving from precious materials: Einfeld uses wire made of rose, yellow, and white gold of varying carats (14, 18, and 22 karats) to create exquisite patterns. In addition to gold, her collections include sterling and pure silver, allowing the artist to play with contrasts and expand the palette of colors.
