Sorrento Jewelry by Yvonne

The artist at work
Vetri D'arte

Color, Shape and
Design

speak to Yvonne Andriaens as she creates one of a kind necklaces, earrings and rings in a spacious shop just north of Sorrento, in Sant'Agnello, Italy.

Light sparkles off the pieces of glass and metal used in her work as I watched her assemble several pieces while we talked on afternoon in December.

We met almost 2 years ago when I entered her shop and started asking questions.....the usual annoying traveler. 
She was very kind to spend time speaking with me about art, business and Sorrento.  We also spoke about life and how at a "certain age" you finally become free!
  It was a great pleasure to meet Yvonne again and visit her new workshop and store.    Perhaps on my next visit she will show me how to create a treasure to take home with me.






Such wonderful items to take home from your adventure in Sorrento, better than a souvenir
