Treasures from the Earth

I am a practical soul, rock-rooted to the earth where I find a deep contentment working with the responsive surfaces of silver and gold.

I hammer and shape and torch. When I work with the healing power of stone—the warmth of amber, the clarity of quartz crystal—and precious metals, I feel connected to those who have walked before me, into the deserts and up the mountains.

My inspiration for design springs out of my diverse loves: ancient cave art, Japanese characters and Asian architecture, astrological symbols, Scandinavian design, and my collection of vintage jewelry books. My materials are Sterling Silver and 14 to 24 karat gold, and precious and semi-precious stones and beads. I am humbled by an elemental connection to the minerals and veins of the earth, and I try to convey that link through my jewelry.
