Josephine Jacobsmeyer
Jewelry – MetalsmithBiography
Josephine Jacobsmeyer was trained as a metalsmith at the Rochester Institute of Technology, School of American Craftsmen in Rochester, NY. Then she opened her studio, creating one-of-a-kind and limited-production jewelry. She considers her jewelry as units or elements created separately and combined to form a beautiful and harmonious hole. She mixes graphic or architectural shapes and forms from her earlier education and training in interior design with organic forms, which influence her daily.
Each piece is handmade and constructed, including most of the linkage systems and chains. Elements are fabricated from sterling, gold, or copper. Sawing, filing forming, and chasing are a few of the traditional metalsmithing techniques she utilizes. The texture is essential to Josephine to add depth and personality. Precious and semiprecious stones are used to accent an area or element and also to add color to the overall design.
Josephine is a juried member of The Best of Missouri Hands.
