Nikki Feldbaum's interest in jewelry began as a child playing with her grandmother's flamboyant Mariam Haskell costume jewelry pieces. She creates her jewelry from the labor intensive work of weaving the web of gold wires and colorful gemstones. Based in Sarasota, Florida and Martha's Vineyard, she believes that her "jewelry isn't for the masses - it's for the person who wants to make a statement."

Good condition.
