DIANE EGBERT

The brilliant light, vibrant flora and geological formations of the Sonoran Desert inform Diane Egbert’s jewelry and Judaica, which has evolved over 40 years. Her current studio work brings together contemporary design, traditional metalsmithing, and computer technology, culminating in an individual style infused with attention to composition, color and detail. Diane earned her BFA in Experimental Studio Design at Syracuse University in 1973. Her studies included metal and ceramics with a focus on sculptural work. Upon graduating, her interest shifted to making jewelry where she continued to cultivate her love of three-dimensional design on a more intimate level. In 1977, Diane started her first independent studio with a fellow goldsmith in Hanover New Hampshire. They created custom jewelry for local clients and reached a wider market by selling their work at ACC shows in Rhinebeck NY and Baltimore MD.
