About The Artist
Doreen Garten • Albuquerque, NM
Jewelry • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
My life as a jeweler has been fascinating and intricate journey, filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and a passion for working with precious metals and gemstones. I have honed my skills through education and self-study. Often I start my day by asking myself ‘what do I get to do today’ and the conceptualize ideas. Choosing the right materials is crucial to complete the visualized design. I work with a wide range of metals like gold, silver, and alloys and select gemstones based on their suitability for specific designs. I attempt to meticulously craft jewelry pieces using a combination of traditional techniques and modern tool by cutting, shaping, solder, and polishing metals, setting gemstones securely to create aesthetically pleasing and durable jewelry. Precision and attention to detail are paramount as I work meticulously to ensure every stone is securely set, every polish is flawless, and every piece meets the highest quality standards.
