ABOUT AMBROSIO ANGEL, JEWELRY DESIGNER
Ambrosio's interest in rocks and gemstones began at the early age of ten when he started collecting rocks and proudly displaying them in the backyard. Noticing his keen interest, Ambrosio's mother took him to a San Francisco gem and mineral show where he was delighted to learn how a rough stone is transformed into a finished piece of jewelry.
His high school arts and crafts teacher also noted that his creativity with jewelry was well above high school level and encouraged him to further develop that talent. She said, "You have a creative mind, you cannot learn to be a creator, it's something that you’re born with." In college Ambrosio focused mainly on advanced jewelry making, as well as art and architecture.
Recognizing his son's natural talent, Ambrosio's father traveled with him to Thailand, the source of fine gems, so Ambrosio could experience first-hand the process of transforming raw stones into finished gems.
After his formal education, Ambrosio worked in Macy’s Fine Jewelry Department and then at San Francisco's Galleria and Showplace Design Center as a rug and furniture designer. Knowing his passion for jewelry only as a hobby, his family and friends continued to encourage him to make it a business.
The inspiration for his first line of Egyptian jewelry resulted from viewing Cleopatra movies. A visit to the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art further inspired him as he noticed the gift shop did not carry any jewelry in the style of that worn by ancient Egypt's royalty. But he just happened to have a photo of his niece wearing an impressive turquoise, lapis and carnelian collar, stones the exact colors used in Egyptian jewelry! Upon viewing the photo the manager asked, “Do you have any more?" ...And rest is history!
