Surrounded by glacial valleys, the summit is a breathtaking natural wonder and many adventurers are eager to climb the peak.
Switzerland is also home to featured jewelry designer Lindsey Wendler.
Jewelers love the craft of jewelry making and strive to
bring vibrancy and nuance to their jewelry collections!
A native of Dallas, Texas Wendler’s nine-year-old fashion jewelry brand, LindseyMarie, is all about eye-catching color, sinuous form, and great style.

Collections are inspired by such glamorous locales as Monte
Carlo and Saint-Tropez.
Classically styled forms morph into exotic and statement making jewelry pieces like the elegant Ella Ring; the Old World panache of the Ava Ring; and cool multi-strand gemstone bead bracelets that can also be worn as necklaces. Pale green chalcedony, purple amethyst, lapis lazuli, and pink geodes provide enchanting color spectrums.

A one-time medical student, who received a degree in biology
from Southern Methodist University, Wendler
made friendship bracelets in her spare time.
Collecting “brightly colored beads and ribbons” and creating jewelry
became a much needed alternative from her rigorous curriculum.
It was such a needed outlet for Wendler that she launched
her jewelry brand two years before she graduated! By the time she graduated she was already
participating in tradeshows, and her brand was being sold at 40 retailers
across the U.S.
“I was always incredibly passionate about fashion and
creating my personal style that I rarely left the house without a full set of
jewelry. When I attended college I never
slept and got very burned out,” she recalls.
“I wanted a social life, I wanted to travel and participate
in more creative activities to make my life more well-rounded. I felt unfulfilled and anxious about
dedicating my life to medicine.

Now that I am a full-time jeweler sometimes I also go
without sleep but there is a different feel to it. My work gives me energy and I can take off to
do things for myself.”
Wanting to make the most out of her new career choice,
Wendler acquired a MA in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewelry
from London’s Royal College of Art. Soon after she relocated to Geneva,
Switzerland where she currently works with a design team, and established her
boutique and atelier.
“When I started out making jewelry in Texas I only had
$300. My parents helped bit-b-bit. They helped me because they saw I was earning
back several times more than what they gave me.
I was lucky. I just couldn't help but follow my heart into this world of creativity. I love making my jewelry universe like a garden of beautiful, rich-colored flowers.”

They correspond with the fashionable jewels from the runways of Oscar de la Renta and Alexander McQueen.
Also medieval jewelry styles populated Dolce and Gabbana’s runways, and Wendler’s Estella and Ava Rings evoke this long gone era.
