The June Issue of InDesign Magazine included "Fact Sheets" about some of the designers who would be exhibiting their new collections in Las Vegas this year and I thought it would be fun to share Pamela's with you! I've retyped the text from the issue below the image to make it easier to read. Enjoy!
In Their Own Words:
“My love of
irregular surfaces inspired the texture of my collection, which uses a special combination
of techniques I call “Crushed”, lending a softer more natural feel to the
metal as well as making each item completely unique. I believe that
individuality is the true source of beauty. That is also why I love the
more unusual gemstones. I believe all gems are precious and especially adore natural works of art like platinum rutilated quartz and opals, which
are rare and interesting. I accent these beauties with high-quality diamonds
and colored stones, setting them in combinations of my signature 18k gold colors to create distinctive pieces. My mission is to create collectible
works of art that will be worn, not locked away in a safe, passed down and appreciated
for generations.”
Signature Style:
Scroll motifs, “Crushed” texture and innovative
blends of special 18k gold colors & 22k gold combined with rare natural gems and high-quality
diamonds. Froman's pieces are perfect for the woman who
wants something versatile, unique and eye-catching with understated glamour.
Latest Collection:
Caribbean Crush, based around the popular Tanzanite and Paraiba tourmaline earrings of the same name, merchandising well with the expanded Boulder Crush opal collection. Also integrating lambskin leather cuffs and expanding bridal.

“I had a treat
recently and a great lesson. The visit of Pamela Froman to Puerto
Rico and the "unveiling" of new pieces and new designs that I had
never seen before. Having known
Pamela for years, I thought I knew her work but to my great delight, she
had broken barriers, searched for new stones and cuts, and lifted her
collection to a new level. It was inspiring
to see the evolution of her ideas and direction and the passion with which she
enveloped it all. Never think that
you know an artist as you never know really what they have become until you
immerse yourself once again in their work.” – Marie Helene Morrow, Reinhold
