Annette Ferdinandsen's jewelry evokes the exquisite beauty of the natural world
in abiding pieces that are elegantly formed with a modern sensibility. Daring
and bold, original and playful, each piece is as unexpected as it is beautiful.
Los Angeles-born and New York-based, Annette has a creative vision that
stems from a strong Scandinavian heritage deeply rooted in the worlds of art
and design. Educated at the Rhode Island School of Design, Annette's artistic
hand reveals the rarities and distinctions of nature. Her uncompromising quality
and attention todetail, together with her use of hand-picked precious materials
rich with color and texture, are all emblems of her refi ned collection.
Designed in her workshop amid the historic countryside of
New York 's Hudson Valley, Annette Ferdinandsen's jewelry refl ects the inher-
ent grace of the fl ora and fauna surrounding her. Each piece is handcrafted
in her studio, which is fi lled with the natural curiosities that inspire her - from
coral branches to exotic seashells tobouquets of feathers and colorful fl owers.
Annette Ferdinandsen illuminates these graceful forms to create jewelry with
a pure, elegant design. Through her fi ne jewelry she captures the poetry inher-
ent in nature- the breath of a fl ower dappled in rubies, the silent simplicity of a
feather in gold, the temptation of an egg bejeweled – distinctive pieces that are
naturallybeautiful; naturally timeless.
