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. At 15, still at school, she did a week of work experience with a local old-school jeweller and she fell in love with metalcraft. “From the moment I stepped into that workshop, I knew I’d found my life’s calling. The memories captured in metal are like collectible stories that can be cherished forever,” she comments.
In these three decades, Roemer has achieved international recognition, collaborating with luxury brands and building a customer base of VIPs such as the Prince of Wales, Angelina Jolie and Nelson Mandela, among many others.

Roemer works across different media and materials, expanding beyond jewellery to create sculptures, objets d’art, and paintings.
At Bergdorf Goodman this month, visitors will be able to admire a curated selection of Roemer’s most iconic works, alongside pieces from her most recent collections.
In the Jewellery Salon is where visitors will find Roemer’s career highlights, such as her iconic Camel Ring from 2010, a solid gold hand-carved hammered Diamond feather cuff and her beloved Superwomen Ring series with some recent additions. Also featured are her sculptural work with her first bronze piece, “The Long Walk to Freedom”—a limited-edition bust of Nelson Mandela, which is located on the top floor, in the Home Department.
