CONSTANZE SCHREIBER

Today we stand within the majestic walls of Germany's Mespelbrunn Castle.

Its hidden location in a Bavarian valley protected it through World Wars I and II, and it is considered one the country's most beautiful castles. Its halls are filled with gorgeous columns with carved angels, masks, and rosettes. Germany is also the hometown of featured jewelry designer Constanze Schreiber.
