LeeAnn Herreid is a professional jeweller whose career began in 1984 when she sold her first pieces and began a four year apprenticeship under a master goldsmith.

Creating unique jewellery pieces, LeeAnn founded her company Individual Icons in 1993.

During the course of her career, LeeAnn has achieved national and international success including invitations to curated exhibits such as a show at the Victoria and Albert Museum, I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Peace Now, and is currently working with the Metropolitan Opera turning the crystals from the world-famous Sputnik chandeliers into wearable jewellery.
