Olympia first began her smithing journey in 2006, and through much diligence learned the delicate art of forging jewellery for eight years on her own prior to being mentored by master goldsmith jürgen schönheit and apprenticed under him for five years on Granville Island. While her main focus is traditional goldsmithing using old world techniques, she has expanded her thirst for a fresh soft organic compound by playing with textures and fluid shapes in her most recent collections emulating nature.
