Eclipse Triple Sapphire Necklace

Eclipse Triple Sapphire Necklace, sapphires, tourmaline and garnet with 18K gold vermeil handmade beads and 22K bi-metal accents on adjustable 16-18″ oxidized sterling chain

 

As a metal artist, my canvas begins with sheets of silver and gold. Precious metal wire is added, and nature provides beautiful gemstones. The wonder of skilled creation is that the work is perceived as effortless perfection.

 

Multi-stone Edge Earrings

Multi-Stone Edge Earrings, garnet, citrine, smoky quartz, and iolite bezel set in 18k gold vermeil, 2″ long

 

Choosing a distinctive design can make a woman feel many ways – from quiet beauty to bold empowerment. I am forever inspired by these magical transformations and am grateful for people who accompany me on this journey.

 

Elements Bracelet

Elements Bracelet, 7.5″L bracelet created from tiny handmade sculptures of oxidized sterling silver, 18k vermeil, and 24 k fused gold

 

Journeys in my life seem to always bring the inspiration that is a path to a new direction in my work. While traveling around the world for shoots as a commercial model, I was intrigued with the architectural elements on old buildings. At one point I believed I would study architecture, but rendering a drawing wasn’t enough.

 

Gold hoop earrings

Hoop earrings, gold vermeil over fabricated sterling silver, approx. 1 1/2″ in diameter

 

The desire to construct by hand and the call to metal led me to Parsons School of Design and to studies with master jewelers to develop skills I needed to create what I imagined. As a metalsmith, I now have the skills to interpret the intriguing features and elements of ancient buildings into my work.

 

Blue Topaz Petal Necklace

Blue Topaz Petal Necklace, 18k gold vermeil with center marquise blue topaz, peridot, and amethyst

 

In 1992 I began as a small production business that grew to several hundred gallery and catalog accounts worldwide. My current body of work includes fabrication, granulation, acid etching, and reticulation of gold and sterling silver and has expanded to include colored gemstones and a plethora of raw natural stones.

 

Elements Plumb Bob Necklace

Elements Plumb Bob Necklace, Oxidized Sterling Silver, 18k Gold Vermeil. Individual petite sculptures linked by handcrafted elements and chain.

 

During my exploration I fell in love with the movement, patterns, and richness in texture that various methods bring to every piece. What has been wonderful for me to see is that my pieces appeal to and are purchased by women of all different ages. I feel I have created a unique and timeless quality that goes beyond trends.
