Aquamarine Diamond Yellow Gold 22 Karat Gold Necklace

For over a century, Pamela Farland’s family, the Maumejean’s, created stained glass for major churches and cathedrals all over Europe and South America, so it is no surprise that Pamela comes to the world of jewelry from the standpoint of color. She worked for many years as an art framer, collaborating closely with artists, creating “settings” so to speak, for their pieces, adorning and enhancing the effect of their art. This path led her to the Kulicke-Stark Academy of Jewelry Art: Robert Kulicke a talented and renowned picture framer, as well as an artist in his own right, had created a school devoted to teaching and transmiting the art of ancient goldsmiths. For Pamela the discovery and learning of jewelry making brought together the different parts of her experience and became a lifelong passion. She worked for 11 years as Master Jeweler, at the Metropolitan Museum’s Reproduction Studio, she specialized in hand wrought pieces of 22K gold, working with curators to create pieces from the collection to be sold in the museum’s shops, she also developed her own collection of one of kind jewelry. Today she teaches at the 92 Street Y in New York, sharing the knowledge acquired through the years and works in her studio NYC. She creates colorful and unique pieces, setting precious, semi-precious stones, pearls or antiquities, such as ancient arrowheads or coins in 22K gold. They reflect the road travelled, the past, the present and the timeless pleasure of adornment.
