The jeweler without fingers
A talented jeweler, whose works cost thousands of dollars, told how she manages to create her intricate jewelry despite the fact that she was born without fingers.
Annette Gabbedy, 48, creates delicate rings, earrings and bracelets encrusted with diamonds, opals and other precious stones in her workshop in Frome, Somerset.

2. A woman owns her own workshop in the city of Frome and creates jewelry without using special tools that cost thousands of dollars.
3. At the same time, the jeweler does not use any special tools and says that she cannot imagine how people with fingers manage to do what she does.
4. The jeweler wears a leather bracelet to which he attaches the necessary tool. She also uses a vise to attach the samples she works with.
5. Gabbedy studied jewelry from school, after which she entered Hatton Garden College, where she studied with the best jewelers in London.
6. She moved to Somerset 24 years ago and now has a reputation as one of the best masters in the UK.
7. The fingerless jeweler made a lot of exquisite jewelry.
8. The most expensive piece created by Annette was an 18-carat yellow and white gold necklace with opals and a diamond (see the photo above), which she made for herself to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the trade. The product, according to the most conservative estimates, costs about 40 thousand dollars.
