Born in 1981, Nicole Schuster grew up in a small town near Munich, Germany. Her childhood dream was to become an architect. Instead, Nicole learned the goldsmithing craft in Kaufbeuren-Neugablonz from 2001-2004 and studied jewelry design in Pforzheim University until 2008. She then worked in a jewelry workshop & gallery in Cork, Ireland before returning to Munich in 2012, where she now has her atelier.
Her sculptural jewelry pieces were exhibited in several group and solo exhibitions, permanent presentations and arts & craft fairs, mainly in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, Belgium, Italy and Ireland. Recently she won the “Brand New Copenhagen” Award in Denmark and received an honorable mention at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Korea.
