Sabine Roemer in New York

30 years at the bench showcased at Bergdorf Goodman

During the whole month of January, luxury New York department store Bergdorf Goodman is celebrating master gold and silversmith, sculptor, and jeweller Sabine Roemer, who started her artistic journey back in 1995, at a small workshop in the Black Forest.
