18K Gold Fine Jewelry

Cynthia Bach is a Los Angeles jewelry designer whose classical, yet innovative work has been featured at Neiman Marcus stores nationwide since 1991. Her work is influenced by European regalia, art, and architecture that is inspired by living in Germany for thirteen years. Bach spent two years apprenticing in Europe and studying metalworking. Afterwards, she returned to the US to complete her BA in Fine Arts in Texas.

Bach's foray into the realm of heraldic jewelry began in the same year, when a customer commissioned Cynthia to design a crown brooch for an anniversary present. Her ensuing series of miniature crown paintings served as the designs for her original crown brooch collection that was then sought out by Neiman Marcus. Bach's jewelry designs include crown brooches, rings, bracelets, and earrings as well as scepter and orb inspired charms.

While attending college in Texas, Cynthia apprenticed with master jeweler Jim Matthews. In 1981, she and Matthews opened a jewelry store and workshop in Abilene, which they ran together for ten years. In 1991, the two were courted by Van Cleef & Arpels, and relocated to Beverly Hills. Matthews ran the company's West Coast fabrication department, and Cynthia designed pieces for an elite clientele.
