This piece is drawn from master jeweler Karen Bachmann’s Insect Talisman series.
Karen sculpted her gorgeous interpretations of various insects in wax and cast them, using the lost wax process, into wearable amulets of silver and brass. These skillfully crafted pieces are an ode to the importance of the small insects that maintain the foundation of our world.
Karen Bachmann has over 30 years experience in the fine jewelry industry, and was on staff at Tiffany & Co for several years as a custom order jeweler. She is a professor of fine art/ design and art history at both Pratt Institute and Fashion Institute of Design. Her MA thesis focused on Victorian ornamental hairwork, which is a subject she is considered to be an expert on.
