Shana Kroiz, one of America’s leading enamellists, has spent a lifetime pushing the boundaries of this art medium. Her meticulously crafted jewelry explores ancient forms with modern flair and a sensuous, exuberant spirit. Kroiz starts by carving a form in wax and electroforming it in 18k gold, rhodium, or 18k rose gold. The finishing touch usually includes layers of opaque and transparent enamels, introducing playful color into the design. Widely recognized for her artistic mastery, Kroiz’s jewelry is included in the collections of the Museum of Art and Design, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, and the Racine Art Museum.
