A Grandma that loved jewelry raised my Mom. A Mom that loved jewelry raised me. It wasn’t about expensive diamonds and precious metals. It was about adding something fun or special to dress up an outfit. I have fond preschool memories of making necklaces with long shoestrings and big, colorful, wooden beads; of summer days as a little girl wearing candy bead bracelets, and the excitement of church mornings when I could wear a tiny, gold locket or my amethyst birthstone ring.
I believe jewelry is an elaboration on an individual's style and a statement on how they are feeling as they anticipate the events in their day. We attach feelings and memories of extraordinary moments, celebrations and loved ones to our jewelry. We cherish a special necklace or ring that belonged to our mother, or grandmother, aunt or close friend. It is these tangible objects of sentiment that we pass on to the ones we love.
I create artisan, organic, earth inspired jewelry from precious metals and gemstones. Using precious metal clay and silversmith techniques, each bracelet, pair of earrings, pendant and ring is handcrafted from fine silver, to sterling silver, copper and bronze. This one of a kind art jewelry is designed, created and beautifully finished to celebrate nature and bring joy to daily life.
