" From the moment I saw this beautiful work
of art at the Washington Craft Show on Thursday evening November 14, I
knew the Renwick was the perfect home to such exquisite design and
craftsmanship. There is a lovely Victorian quality to the aesthetic of
the Raspberry Suite, albeit with an ironic update in the subject
matter. The use of the raspberry as the primary imagery of the enamel
is delightful and unexpected in such fine jewelry."
