Since I am selling some of my designs on this site, here is my jewellery bio/CV:
I graduated Jewellery Design/Goldsmithing diploma program with full honours, received Sarah & Arthur Frankel Gem-setting Award and SNAG (Society of North American Goldsmiths) Scholarship in Toronto, Canada in 2013. Right after college I worked as one of the goldsmiths at a well-established jewellery company in Toronto (Anne Sportun Fine Jewellery) where I furthered skills as a goldsmith for another 5 years. The Italian master goldsmith 'the magician', Dino Giannetti at 18Karat Studio + Gallery, was also my mentor for a few years.
I founded my very first jewellery line during college in 2011. During that time, I mainly focused on silver and bigger metal objects. After exploring possibilities and experimenting with every medium of interests, I launched a new collection focused on gold with a new shop name; Lyra von Rose Jewellery in 2016. I am also an enthusiastic gemsetter - despite gemsetting and goldsmithing are considered separate work in this industry - I set my own gemstones including diamonds in various types of settings.
Since the move to Berlin, I work as a freelancer goldsmith and gemsetter for my own designs and also for other establishments. I do custom designs as well as wedding/engagement rings upon request.
