Ms. Naumburg is a two-time winner at our show.

With a painter mother and engineer father, she was born to create. She began
studying to become a goldsmith as a teenager. She spent three years in a 
goldsmith apprenticeship under a Master jeweler near Frankfurt, Germany,
where she learned traditional goldsmith techniques of fabrication. Over the past 
26 years, she has added stone setting, welding, wax carving and casting to her 
skill set. 

Working in high karat gold, often shown in a combination of brushed, textured 
and high polished, she aims to reduce the lines of a design to the essentials, 
editing out unneeded elements and distractions to create, contemporary, 
wearable small sculptures.
