Lauren Wimmer Jewelry

Lauren Wimmer Jewelry Small production statement jewelry carved by hand in wax and cast in sterling silver or 18K gold.

Lauren Wimmer has always been attracted to the symbolism, texture and ceremony associated with jewelry and personal adornment. She draws inspiration from her background in the Classics and Fine Arts: themes ranging from the coral “corno” dangling from the neck of a Christ child, to the fragments encircling the preserved bodies buried beneath the ash of Mount Vesuvius, to the bone necklace of a Kah

lo self portrait reminiscent of a tribal ornament. Lauren strives to create jewelry that inspires the same reflections in its wearers. Each piece has its own intrinsic texture created by the juxtaposition of faceted, smooth and oddly shaped beads that mix color, weight and light refraction. Her “Strung” collection of beaded jewelry features prominently with clusters of fresh water pearls and rock crystal clusters accented with semi precious stones, sterling silver, 14-karat gold, bone, wood, horn and glass in unusual and variant colors and shapes. The “Wrapped” collection features hand-dyed silk ribbon wrapped around hollow tube rings to form bibs, chains and convertible pieces. The “Cast” collection explores the line between organic and geometric. The shapes and textiles are redolent of actual objects and beings found in nature, but with a compelling abstraction that defies the literal and allows the wearer to define them in their own style. The models are all made in wax and cast in sterling silver and/or heavy plated in 18K gold. Lauren has BA from Wellesley College with a concentration in Art History and Sculpture. She continues to hone her carving skills at the Fred de Vos Workshop in downtown Manhattan. The collection launched in 2003 and has sold in many museum and specialty stores around the globe, including The Barnes Museum in Philadelphia, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Getty Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, Bergdorf Goodman and Henri Bendel.
