I have been designing jewelry with precious metals and stones for over 20 years. I am fasinated by objects of adornment that have personal meaning and an emotional tie to our lives. To do that I use shapes, symbols and colors. I also like to stamp words on the inside or back of pieces for only the wearer to know of. My hope is to make very wearable, well loved jewelry.

All of the jewelry that you see is hand fabricated with the addition of some cast components. I use a rolling mill and stamps on the metal surfaces to create the desired texture. Letters for words are stamped one at a time. Because each piece is hand crafted there can be slight variations.

The jewelry is made of sterling silver with the addition of 18 kt gold bimetal and 14 kt gold. Cabochon stones used include amethyst, peridot, garnet, citrine, blue topaz, opal, apatite, iolite, moonstone, and sapphire. All chains, ear posts, and ear nuts are sterling silver, and pin backs are nickel and steel. 18 kt. gold bi-metal is gold that has been fusion-welded to one side of sterling silver.
