A third-generation jeweler and New York native, Robert Wander (1942 – 2019) studied jewelry in Paris, where his family owned jewelry boutiques. That is why he labeled his first jewelry creations as “Wander France.” He later traveled the world, studying jewelry in other countries. Inspired by Greek and Roman motifs, he made jewelry at a very high level of craftsmanship.
In 1984, Robert Wander founded WINC Creations, Inc. with headquarters in New York, NY. It was a family business in partnership with his wife Deanna Haimoff was also a jewelry designer and owned a jewelry gallery in Hawaii.
Wander jewelry designs traditionally included the use of precious metals and stones – sapphires, tsavorites, aquamarines, opals, lapis lazuli, tourmalines, corals, etc. He created realistic images of animals, insects, lizards covered with precious stones, sets of earrings, necklaces and bracelets with Etruscan motifs.
A regular participant in jewelry art exhibitions, Wander has received many awards during his forty years in the jewelry business. He also collaborated with JCK magazine in the 1990s, patiently explaining how he created jewelry or the essence and nature of different precious stones.
