Master Jeweler and Gemologist Terry Rieger’s
37 year career had an unusual beginning.
As atraditional artist in her early 20’s Terry’s culinary hobby provided an additional outlet for display of her artistic talent. She delighted in designing confectionary masterpieces. If she wasn’t creating exquisitely decorated wedding cakes for friends and family, she was sculpting whimsical, mouthwatering candies, or designing sugar Easter eggs with complete 3-D panoramas inside. The occupants of those windowed eggs were meticulously detailed, right down to microscopic whiskers on the tiny Easter bunnies.
One of those Easter eggs, a gift to a family friend, is responsible for launching her lifelong career in jewelry. The family friend was a jeweler, and so taken with her artistry was he, that he insisted her designs must be produced in gold. Her mentor, refusing to take no for an answer, arranged for a full compliment of jewelers tools to be delivered, and arranged for her to be the first and only student even tutored by noted Russian jeweler Constance Osmanski. Terry found herself commuting back and forth to Europe for the next twelve years, studying and perfecting her craft in London’s famed diamond quarter, Hatton Garden.
Designing horses, is a sad passion, as a child Terry rode her favorite horse Rusty, however years later she was diagnosed with allergic asthma and cannot be near a horse. So she designs them in gold . And as you can see they look exactly like the live ones. Terry’s passion remains custom jewelry; however, and her exquisite designs range from the extraordinarily graceful to the wonderfully whimsical.
