"My
work reflects connection with the earth and the sea. The gemstones and
pearls are center stage in my jewelry, showing off their form, texture,
color, and interaction with each other. I see the metal, whether gold
or silver, as playing the supporting role to the stones in the style of
each piece. Every gem from the earth or the sea has meaning for us, and
I hope to communicate that energy in my work."
"Major influences to my style include Laura Gibson, Monique L'huillier, and Kenneth Pool."
Custom Designs are our Specialty
The
jewelry items for sale here represent only a small part of what we do,
and can be thought of as "starting points" for our custom design
process. Most of our designs are created as custom commissions for
bridal parties. We would love to chat with you about how we can create memorable and unique jewelry for your wedding that comfortably fits your budget.
