Giselle Kolb
"Natural beauty exists to be contemplated and admired."
Giselle Kolb is a contemporary jewelry designer working in Baltimore, MD. She is a seasoned jeweler with over 20 years of experience both behind the retail counter and at the workbench.
Kolb received her jeweler's certificate from the Maryland Institute's Jewelry Program after obtaining a BFA in her home country of Peru.
Kolb's Peruvian roots have been a huge influence in her work. Unique memories of colonial Peru can be seen in much of her work. She used flowers as symbols of appreciation and as offerings or tributes. They are precisely arranged to become the contents of what she likes to call "shrines." The necessity for the use of color directs her and allows to explore new materials that take her work in new directions.
