GET TO KNOW OUR ARTISTS: Victoria Cunningham Q&A

Victoria Cunningham‘s exquisite fine jewelry, which range from simple diamond pendants and stacking rings to dramatic one-of-a-kind pieces, have been staff favorites at our shop for over twenty years. We love that her handcrafted designs are timeless treasures meant to move with their wearer from the gym to a night out and everything in between. We recently caught up with Victoria from her Los Angeles studio.

Your beautiful work has been a staple at our shop for over two decades; it’s the put-on-and-never-take-off kind of jewelry that moves with us through every occasion. Can you tell us a little about what drew you to jewelry design and what inspires your work of today?

I’ve always been obsessed with jewelry. I used to have constant dreams as a child that I was swimming under water in the ocean and I would find a treasure chest of jewels. I grew up in a family of artists so it was natural for me to learn the craft of jewelry making. I started with the beaded jewelry and quickly got into Lost wax casting. Since I’ve never had any formal training I am still learning. Which keeps me on a quest to make the perfect piece. I’m inspired by nature and art, and also by how women wear their jewelry.
