Gotham Atelier

Gotham Atelier’s distinctive jewelry, created by E. Andrea Shiman, is deeply inspired by the geometry of mid-20th century modernist design. Structural settings of gold and silver frame the natural beauty of unusual colored gemstones, each carefully selected by the artist and often brought together in unexpected ways. 

Gotham Atelier’s jewelry is informed by the materials at hand, allowing the designs to emerge from ongoing experimentation. The traditional practices and technical challenges of working with metal, including leftovers and scraps from around her studio, fuel the artist’s practice. E. Andrea Shiman trained as a jeweler in classes and workshops at the 92nd St Y, where she connected with Brooklyn Metal Works co-founder Erin S. Daily. Shiman has maintained a bench at BKMW since 2013 and is based in Brooklyn, NY.
