Annegret Morf

Pendant in sterling silver and 14kt gold with labradorite on a rubber necklace.

Dimensions 2-15/16” x 2” SARABANDE COLLECTION

Swiss-born Annegret Morf brings all the romance and history of her experience as an art restorer and violin maker to her creative role at SERAFINO. Her academic training in these arts spans the globe, and includes years spent in Florence, Italy and Basel, Switzerland. In these great centers of culture and artistic achievement she absorbed the secrets of masters in European art, design and fine craftsmanship.

Ever since early childhood I have been making things and exploring different materials and techniques. If I didn’t know how to do something I would invent my own techniques.

When I was nine I invented something that to me looked like knitting, only to find out later that it was crocheting. I eventually became an art restorer and a violin maker.

Naturally, when my husband started his training as a goldsmith 25 years ago I couldn’t help but try it out myself.

As Antonio developed into a very fine craftsman, I followed his achievements with interest. I occasionally helped out and dreamt a lot about the jewelry I would make if I were a goldsmith.

In 2005 I created my first jewelry collection, “Freevola.”

Antonio and I then decided to unite our energy and dedicate our business exclusively to the goldsmith art. Happily, our shared vision “clicked.”

In 2008 I was recognized as a professional member of the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec.

Height from finger 11/16”, width 15/16”, depth 4/8” SARABANDE COLLECTION

The Sarabande Collection employs arabesques, fleurettes, and curlicues inspired by the exuberance and grandeur of the Baroque.

I feel that these contemporary pieces, distinguished by ornate delicacy and drama, evoke the courtly dances, palace intrigues, and bold characters of the aristocratic 17th and 18th centuries.

Adjustable earrings in 18kt yellow gold with freshwater pearl petals.

Maximum length 3-6/8”, width 1-3/8” FREEVOLA COLLECTION

I see the Freevola Collection as “Poems of Light and Change.”

Coloured stones, pearl petals, and hammered gold or silver discs dance and sparkle in these little lyrics to freedom, movement and metamorphosis.

I like to think that Freevola expresses the weightlessness of spirit within the materiality of perpetual transformation.
