Designer Profile of Pamela Froman by Broken English Jewelry

This is the gorgeous header image used for Pamela's interview on the Broken English blog, jewelry by Pamela Froman.

Broken English is a very cool jewelry store, with locations in both Los Angeles and New York, that we are proud to work with!  Recently, Chris and Lucy (from the Broken English blog) visited Pamela's Los Angeles studio to interview the designer and photograph the beautiful space she works in as well as some of her fabulous fine jewelry creations.

They also had Pamela fill out a questionnaire by hand (see above.) You can see a larger version of the handwritten answers (complete with scrolly doodles!) on the Broken English blog. But, since it's hand-written I decided to transcribe the questionnaire for you here in case you had trouble reading it in the original format:

Opal Cutting Glass

We saw that our fab store McCaskill & Company had an interesting fact on their facebook page: Opals can cut glass!  We had never heard this, so we decided to try it while at a trunk show at Dolce Jewels in Telluride.  Only Beau would have an extra opal and piece of glass lying around! Watch...

 

So cool that it actually works! 

Pamela was filming on her iPhone and was the narrator's voice, you can hear me laughing in the background.

MY NEW FABULOUS OPAL DESIGNS AT COUTURE SHOW

I just wanted to share with you some of my new one-of-a-kind opal pieces that sold at the Couture Show. Some of them are 18k Yellow & Pink Gold, one is all 18 Yellow Gold, and one is 18k White Gold.
I loved these pieces, but I am sure they will find nice homes through the stores that bought them!

It was a great show, the reaction was wonderful! I feel very blessed to have spent time with other designers that I admire, see store owners who I adore, and start relationships with new store owners who are excited to bring my collection into their stores this year!

Thanks for all your support!
Cheers & Crushes, Pamela
