Pamina trained as an artist with a rock music background and came to London from New York via Rome. She was sought out by Hermes and worked in Paris, collaborating with couturiers, most notably Christian Lacroix. Pamina’s work has been exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Museum of Decorative Arts, Paris, and the Angelicium in Milan.
One of her jewellery ranges under the title ‘Architecture‘ featured pieces with a Classical Architecture theme. This prompted the National Gallery in London to commission her to produce jewellery inspired by architecture in classical paintings within their collection. From this she received a commission to produce the Micaelangelo Porta Pia pendant that we have here, for London’s Academia Italiana.
Her past clients include Hermes; the British Museum; Absolut Vodka, London and Paris; U2, the Pop Mart Tour; the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; and Arum Gallery, London; amongst many others.
