Anne Sportun began experimenting with jewelry in the basement of her childhood home where her father, a high school shop instructor, had a workshop full of tools. When Anne delivered her first wholesale order in 1981 at the age of sixteen, she had no idea she had just started something that would later become her professional career. By deferring academic studies in archaeology to enroll in a three year Jewelry Arts Program, Anne followed her passion for jewelry making and consciously embarked on a the path that would lead her to where she is today.  Anne Sportun’s inspiration comes from the natural world around her. With her designs, she hopes to encourage an intimate exchange between each piece of jewelry and its wearer. This kind of communication is not bound by words, geography, or ethnicity, but is nurtured by a universal language of shape, symbols and form.
