Designer NADINE FIDELMAN was born in Philadelphia, PA and has lived in Honolulu, Hawaii, San Diego, Malibu and Santa Monica, CA. She received a Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degree in teaching. Nadine taught elementary-age children and peer teachers for 15 years. In 1996, Nadine and her husband moved to the Asheville, North Carolina area to raise their young son.

After retiring early from teaching, Nadine took basic and advanced wire wrapping classes with a local artist. She quickly took her art in a completely different direction  with metal-smithing classes at “A Jewelers Way” in Clyde, NC and at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, as well as precious metal clay (“PMC”) classes at Chevron Beads in Asheville, NC. She was Rio certified in PMC at Two Gather Beads in Anderson, SC and has completed the PMC Connection Level 2 Certification at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Nadine has taught classes in wire wrapping pendants and bracelets at various jewelry studios and bead shops.  For the past few years, Nadine has also been working with precious metal clay, and bronze clay, and has been combining PMC and wire wrapping. All of her pendants, brooches, bracelets and necklaces are one of a kind. She enjoys the challenge of turning your keepsake pieces into a fabulous piece of jewelry.

Working from her home studio, Nadine is able to spend time finding the best gemstones from the world’s top suppliers, she offers unbeatable customer service and spends less time worrying about overhead costs. Because Wire Designs Jewelry By Nadine is a smaller company than major retail chains, she has the freedom to select only the most unique semi-precious stones and stays current on the cutting edge of the jewelry design industry. She does not use any gemstone, nor precious metal that is of a lower quality. She believes that every woman deserves to look her best!
