About The Artist

You are looking at a genuine and unique piece of jewellery hand-crafted by the artist herself, Marianne Cornelius of Vienna (Austria). In recent years the internationally acclaimed Viennese painter creates next to her Portraits and Oils a line of exquisite „One-Of-A-Kind“ jewellery objects with which a woman of to-day underlines her uniqueness and personality in a impressive manner. Her materials of choice are sterling silver in harmony with precious stones, painted inlays, and various accidental finds from nature’s treasury. Many of her creations are hand woven with sterling silver wire or gold wire in the "Soumak" Technique. The spectrum of her creations ranges from simple and unpretentious to sophisticated and flamboyant. The design of each piece is inspired every creative day anew by the artist’s particular emotion dominating her artistic mood on that day.  In appreciation of her overall work as a fine artist, the Republic of Austria has awarded Marianne Cornelius with two of the highest state decorations: The Golden Medal of Honour for Merits to the Republic, 1997, and the Grand Medal of Merits in Gold, in 2006.
