Lechbinska Gallery is proud to present a curated selection of both early and recent works by Esther Brinkmann, inviting you to explore the artistry of wearable art she has mastered.
Creator, teacher and ambassador for jewellery - these three roles have made Esther Brinkmann a key figure in jewellery design not only in her native Switzerland, but also in China and India, where she lived and worked for almost ten years. Thanks to her contact with master artisans in both countires she has explored new horizons with her work. Indian enamel and Chinese jade carving have made their way into her favourite piece of jewellery, the ring. (Elizabeth Fischer)
