I have always found great contentment and pride in creating and working with my hands.

​

As a personal trainer for over 20 years I used metal and resistance to create form and shape.  I have always been quick to see a vision of what I wanted to create. My hands are always on a journey.  So when I discovered metalsmithing  it was an easy and natural draw for me.

 

There is always a question and challenge when first introducing the stone and metal. Using a minimal amount of tools, I rely on my hands to forge the metals shape, creating a relationship between the two.

I use fine sterling silver, 14k, 18k and 22k gold.  I do my own 24k vermeil and my chains are all handmade. 

​

My hope is that my jewelry will be your everyday earrings,  the necklace that makes your LBD say “WOW” or bangles that just seem to go perfectly with your favorite jeans and tee.
