Angie Olami	Angie Atkins is a 38 year-old, award winning, maverick jewelry designer and the sole owner of Angie Olami, Inc. She founded Angie Olami 14 years ago after earning a B.A. in English at Yale University, studying Russian literature at the University of St. Petersburg, working on an archaeological dig in Israel, trekking in Nepal, and living in southern Spain. A Chicago-born, globe-roaming, quatro-lingual traveler, Atkins has long sifted through the rubble and myths of lost civilizations to find the subterranean history of amulets. From her travels and research, she has designed sterling silver jewelry and 14K gold collections based on the ancient languages, symbols, and cultures of Israel, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Dante's medieval Florence.
For Holiday 2000 she spent time researching Byzantine, and Roman mosaics for her Mosaica Collection. Angie Olami's Jewelry is made primarily in Israel by a small group of handpicked master craftsmen. Many pieces are also made in her studio in Montclair, NJ. It is available through galleries, museums, and specialty boutiques in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Materials include sterling silver, fourteen karat gold, semi-precious and precious stones, pearls, ancient glass from the Roman Period, Murano glass beads from Italy, and Czechoslovakian crystal. The breathtaking shards of glass Angie Olami uses in her jewelry date from 100 BCE to 300 CE. They were unearthed in Israel by archaeologists sifting through the fallen pillars and once magnificent cities of the Roman Empire.
