Annie Fensterstock, a New York-based jeweler, creates one-of-a-kind pieces that defy modern trends using centuries-old goldsmithing techniques. Her mastery of methods like granulation and filigree is evident in the tactile, textured construction of her work. Favoring the use of 22k gold, she builds each piece by hand, guided by the unique character of her stones, which include rough-cut sapphires, opals, and rose-cut diamonds. Fensterstock never uses molds; her original designs are hand-forged in their entirety.

Annie's technical background began while studying metalworks and jewelry design at the University of Michigan's School of Art. Years of tutelage under master goldsmiths provide her with a foundation that informs her designs and supports her ability to create virtually anything from her bench.
