Ronnie Taubenfeld
Ronnie Taubenfeld studied interior architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design. After two years, she began to pursue her passion for creating hand-made objects, and moved into the light metals department, graduating with an MFA in 1990.
Ronnie worked in the costume jewelry industry, both in Rhode Island and in Manhattan, where she was the design director of start up companies. Later, she moved to Israel where she met her husband and where her two children were born. She moved back to the United States in 1998, and worked as a graphic designer for five years. She now creates jewelry out of her home studio in Thornwood, NY., where she has lived for 12 years.
In her new line, Ronnie uses sterling silver, fragments of Italian mosaic glass and hand-tinted resin to craft her jewelry. Opaque colored glass with slight imperfections is embedded in hand-poured resin to create unique modern art pieces. Crystal glass treated with fine gold or silver leaf provides depth and luminosity.
