Angela Cummings is a celebrated Austro-American designer known for her use of inlay work and her nature-inspired pieces. Born in Austria, Cummings studied at the Art Academy in Perugia, Italy and later goldsmithing and gemology in Germany. In 1967 she began designing jewelry for Tiffany & Co. under Donald Claflin and in 1975 was granted her own signature collection. To date, Cummings is still one of only four designers permitted to sign their designs under the Tiffany & Co. name. Her designs are known for their sculptural quality and inlay work with hardstone including mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli, and coral. She designed for Tiffany & Co. until 1984, when she founded Angela Cummings Inc.
