Pamela Froman is an amazing and unique jewelry designer, with some exquisite pieces featuring the visually magical opalstone. Opals are fascinating with their ‘play of color’ – the rainbow-like iridescence which changes the colors that appear in the stone depending on the angle it is viewed….like these magnificent opal rings from Pamela Froman!
The award-winning “Pamela Froman Fine Jewelry Collection” features handmade pieces comprised of multiple colors of precious metals and exquisite,rare natural stones. Originality and meticulous attention to every detail are hallmarks of Pamela’s signature look; because each item is handmade, no two will ever be identical, even if they are similar in design.
“The color of the metal is very important to me: I took time to develop my specific colors of 18K Yellow, Pink and Green gold. I love to use multiple colors of 18K gold with beautiful stones, to create a contemporary look that can be worn with designer jeans on the weekend, or with a designer gown on the red carpet. I love irregular surfaces, so most of my Collection is textured with a special hand-hammering technique I call “Crushed.” Combined with a Satin finish, this Crushed texture gives a much softer, more natural feel to the metal.”
Born and raised in Manhattan by her mother, Ann Froman the well-known sculptor and designer, Pamela graduated from the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology and subsequently moved to Europe, where she settled in Paris and began designing jewelry for the top couturier salons. As much as she enjoyed the challenge of creating for preeminent designers, Pamela needed to forge her won artistic path. She began work on her signature line in 2004, the Pamela Froman Fine Jewelry Collection, which was officially launched in 2006. With her husband and young son, Pamela resides in Santa Monica, California.
