Rachel Bertoni has been making jewelry since 1982. She has a BA in art/ed from Queens College and an MFA in sculpture from City College. She also studied jewelry making at FIT, Craft Students League and Rio Grande.
Over the years Rachel has been commissioned to create designs and original wax carvings for QVC, HSN, Andin and other large gold companies that were marketed throughout the world.
She primarily works with gold, silver, semi-precious & precious stones in her unique collection of handmade jewelry items.
Several techniques are used to create these works of wearable art. The more sculptured pieces are hand carved in wax and then cast using the lost wax casting technique. The casting can be done in a variety of metals. Many of them become one-of-a-kind pieces.
Her recent endeavor is the creation of a distinctive line of 18K jewelry entitled “Nature’s Elements” that will be marketed on a wholesale level in the year 2009.
