Nancy Troske

"I feel a strong connection with goldsmiths from the very distant past: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine. By working with their materials and techniques, there is a sense of continuity, shared tradition, and a love of meticulous craftsmanship."

For over two decades, Nancy Troske has created jewelry rooted in ancient goldsmithing traditions. Her process of stone selection, metalwork, and hand granulation reflects the origins of this craft, which began in the third millennium B.C.

Troske holds a BFA in fine arts and has trained extensively in New York City and San Francisco. After beginning her career as a commercial bench jeweler and diamond setter, she returned to the East Coast and established her studio in Princeton, New Jersey, in 2009. She has also taught jewelry workshops at the Princeton Arts Council and by special invitation at Princeton University.

Her work has been featured in galleries and museum stores in the United States and Australia, including the Princeton University Art Museum, the Barnes Foundation, and the Australian National Maritime Museum. Most recently, Troske was commissioned to create a collection for the Princeton University Art Museum’s new gift store, developed over several months and inspired by the museum’s architectural forms and historical artifacts.
