Imma Gibert

I have been dedicated to jewelry making for so many years, it feels like I have been doing it all my life. I relish jewels, the instruction of jewelry making, and specifically the feeling that goes into making them.

I work with gold, silver and copper. At times I use alternative materials to create a sensory link between a piece and the wearer of the piece.  It creates a relationship between the two, intimate, discreet and bereft of opulence.

All these impressions awakenen my interest, and is why I so enjoy engraving. Whenever possible, I attempt to combine these techniques, creating a single artistic expression.

Some jewels are especially dear to me because they allow me to depict two distinguishing features, calcographic engraving and goldsmithing.  Others I hold dear because they approximate the world of painting.
