Crystal Candy Collection Intro Letter from Robert Wander for WINC

Robert Wander is a third generation jeweler who engages our imagination with his ingenious designs, such as the Crystal Candy Collection.

Robert Wander formally studied the jewelry arts in Paris. He later embarked upon the informal education of “wandering” around the globe while exploring options. Then his father presented him with the opportunity to oversee the fine jewelry departments of Sakowitz stores in Texas. However, his free-spirited nature longed for adventure, so he set his sails anew as a marlin fishing charter boat captain. Proceeding from that expedition, Robert Wander re-entered the jewelry design world with a fresh perspective on the business that has always been an integral part of his life.

Robert Wander has been celebrated for his matte-finished Etruscan designs, forerunner to the trend that permeates today’s marketplace. Following the Greek and Roman influences, he developed a series of insect and bug designs comprised of hand-carved colored stones and accented with diamonds. Recently he vitalized the previous collection with a dynamic charm when he introduced an entirely different "species".

In the new millenium, Robert Wander for Winc Creations, unveils vibrant stones embellished with delicate etched gridwork and highlighted by pave diamonds. Pave pastel sapphires offset by oxidized gold emphasizes an intriguing contrast of old and new.

If Robert Wander is not forging yet another line of dazzling jewelry to stir your soul, you can either find him pursuing a 2000 pound marlin or tending his orchid garden. Yes, Robert also cultivates tantalizing designs with Mother Nature.
