While living in Paris, Ana studied at the French Jewelry Guild (BJO -“Union Française de la Bijouterie, de la Joaillerie, de l’Orfèvrerie”) learning from master jewelers that worked at the Place Vendome jewelry houses. Over the years her jewelry has evolved to include only recycled precious metals, custom cut and ethically sourced gemstones and diamonds made in her Charlottesville, VA jewelry atelier.
