Résumé
Creator, teacher and ambassador for jewellery – these three roles have made Esther Brinkmann a key figure in jewellery design not only in her native Switzerland, but also in China and India, where she lived and worked for almost ten years. Thanks to her contact with master artisans in both countries, she has explored new horizons with her work. Indian enamel and Chinese jade carving have made their way into her favourite piece of jewellery, the ring. The recognition of her expertise has resulted in invitations from all over the world to give lectures and to pass on her knowledge in jewellery design.
