Eager to Design on the Edge
Marion Egger creates wonderful, crafted pieces of jewelry in a style that is very much her own. She uses an ancient rock from the North of Western Australia known as the Zebra Rock combined with the Mabe Pearl, Kimberley Diamonds and other Australian gems to create original and inspiring jewelry.
The jewelry is soft and strange with an appeal that is somewhat melodious. These designs are strongly influenced by both Marion’s background in graphic design and by the country surrounding her. Marion migrated from Germany in the early 90’s and has developed a strong affinity with the landscape surrounding her.
Marion chose to settle in subtropical, semi-desert, isolated Broome, Western Australia, “a very different and inspiring place, where this line of work is grounded and originated.”
Eger/ART.2.WEAR has been in business for 3 years and Marion is proud to produce the cutting edge pieces of jewelry she is becoming renowned for. She takes pride in using the raw and original materials that Australia has provided her with.
Eger/ART.2.WEAR will be showcasing their jewelry at designedge – TCF Australia uncovered, Western Australia’s inaugural textile, clothing footwear and leather exhibition being held at the Burswood Exhibition and Convention Centre, September 23 – 25, 2003
