New Jewelry by Victoria Varga at Smith Galleries

Smith Galleries has just received a new selection of jewelry by Victoria Varga. Victoria's jewelry has been a favorite at Smith Galleries for several years. It is admired for its uniqueness in design, perfection in craftsmanship and wearability. Instantly recognized for its timeless good looks, her jewelry delights both men and women with its innovative combination of unexpected materials and whimsical design.

See a slide show of the new arrivals here.

Victoria has perfected a process of combining sterling silver, 23 karat gold leaf, resin, crushed stone and common artist pigments to create her signature line of jewelry.

Victoria handcrafts jewelry that reflects in its clean design and bold graphics, the very best tenants of fine art while redefining the modern spirit.

Victoria received her BS in Fine Arts from Skidmore College in 1984. After completing her graduate studies in metals at Syracuse University, she, along with her husband, Daniel Brouder, co-founded the studio that bears her name.

Smith Galleries is located (see map) on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina in the Village at Wexford and features the largest selection of American artisan jewelry in the state. Gallery hours are 10 - 6 Monday through Saturday. 843.842.2280
