I live on the California Coast and am therefore
surrounded by the beauty of nature. The fascinating
colors of the ocean , glorious sunsets, flora and fauna
together with breathtaking star filled nights, in which
almost every constellation can be followed, are all
the things that inspire me. Long walks on our golden
beaches in this wonderful temperate climate awaken
my ethereal creativity . There is a magical quality
to life in the coastal regions of California and that
contributes to my creativity and artistry at the same
time. From sculpting mermaid and goddess motifs to
hand selecting fine gemstones, reflects the beauty of
the place in which I live and the image of my inner
soul.

While your family’s expertise in jewelry has had strong
influences on your jewelry creation expertise. In what
ways has your collegiate studies in art combined with
Gemological Institute of America programs attributed
to your jewelry design finesse?
Natalie Baroni
The Gemological Institute of America program
together with collegiate art studies provide me with
the basics. Subsequent creativity is the skill of the
individual. My extensive educational background and
certification process has given me a proper perspective
of what I consider Art and Beauty which I encompass
in all my collections. I have been extremely fortunate
to have had the advantage of my family and there
long line of incredible success in jewelry design.
