Gabriela Sismann

Art historian specializing in Renaissance sculpture, and recognized art dealer more than 28 years, Gabriela Sismann has always collected antique goldsmith treasures. For some time, she began to divert brooches, plates and plates in silver, gold, vermeil and gold, to make jewelry. These unique pieces, chosen with rigor and an acute knowledge of their history, are thus revisited to become true modern ornaments. First imagined for her personal pleasure, Gabriela’s creations can now be worn by everyone.
