Alma Kretchmer

Alma met Steven Kretchmer while working with the Department of Geology at the University of Milano in Italy. Steve was in Italy working and learning traditional goldsmithing techniques with a fine jeweler on Via Montenapoleone. Alma was intrigued by Steve. Marrying in Milano they soon ventured to the US where a budding business grew.

A strong and independent thinker, she often made her impact from behind the scenes at Steven Kretchmer Design. Over the years, she was deeply involved in the administration and financial aspects of the business, enabling Steve to continue his research and development of precious metals. Alma was the grounding force of the business, staying involved in all aspects. Because of Alma, Steve was able to have the freedom of mind to explore the uncharted courses of metallurgy and develop some of the most fascinating alloys patented and used in our industry today. Beautiful, strong, proud and confident and just like Steve… "on fire" when it came to Steven Kretchmer Design, Inc.
