Nancy Bernardine-Widmer dropped out from the corporate world in 1993 to make jewelry and cuts stones on a full time basis. She is self taught, but was fortunate to work with a master for several months who passed on a wealth of information and tips.

Over the last seven years her work has changed from simple geometric designs in brass and silver with oval and square stones to gold and silver designs with hand cut free form cabochons and faceted stones. All her work is hand fabricated and most is one of a kind pieces with just a few limited editions created each year.
