Latvian-born, American-educated Maija Neimanis was an award-winning
costume-designer in television and films for twenty years. After exploring jewelry-making
at a three week course at the Jewelry Arts Institute in New York, she left costume design
a year later, and spent the next three years intensively studying the arts of
granulation, enameling, lapidary, chain-weaving, and other ancient gold-working arts.
Using historical techniques of the Etruscans and Greeks, she
creates jewelry for the modern woman looking for timeless, beautiful
pieces. Not merely museum reproductions, her collections, in 22 karat gold with
granulation and gemstones, and some with coins,
capture one's imagination and aesthetic appreciation.
