Nossiter’s work is often confused with that of another female jeweler and jewelry designer of the same period, Sibylle Dunlop. But when you compare the work of these two women jewelers, the differences become immediately apparent: Dorrie Nossitter favored asymmetrical floral designs with lots of clear prong-set gemstones, while Sybil Dunlop gravitated towards symmetrical geometric designs.
Nossiter created precious jewelry of her own design from silver and gold. Her jewelry resembles luxurious flower bouquets. Dorrie Nossiter’s work dates mainly from the 1930s.
