Angela Cummings\' designs are highlysought after today since she is retired from Tiffany\'s and was known mainly forworking in 18-karat gold as well as platinum and sterling silver, highlightedwith exquisite gems. She often mixed these materials with unconventionalcounterpoints such as wood. She experimented with classic jewelry-makingtechniques, such as inlaying precious metals into iron, a process known asdamascene, and broke the rules of high-end jewelry early in her career by usinglots of color. The inspiration for Cummings\' work is rooted in nature. She incorporatesforms such as ginkgo leaves, spider webs, vines, shells, feathers, sea foam,dragonflies, and orchids into her jewelry.
