Wendy creates her small sculpture jewelry with traditional techniques which often reflect her love of carving from metal sheet or bars of sterling silver to achieve original organic shapes as well as hand constructing settings for uniquely cut faceted gems.

The artist is a graduate of Philadelphia College of Art with a degree in jewelry and metalsmithing. She earned her Graduate Gemologist degree at the Gemological Institute of America in NYC and worked as a diamond specialist in the GIA Gem Trade Lab. For the last 12 years Tonsits owned and operated a jewelry teaching studio in Atlanta, GA. Presently she maintains her private jewelry studio at the Bok Building in Philadelphia, PA and teaches jewelry classes at the Main Line Art Center, Abington Art Center and the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia.

Each creation is unique and can include treasured family gemstones or even precious metal you already have. Your new jewelry creation can be handmade in sterling, white or yellow gold, palladium or platinum. Custom designs allow you to share your own creative ideas as your personalized piece of jewelry is thoughtfully handcrafted.
