I fell in love with jewelry at a very young age while admiring my grandmother's vast collection. I started by piecing together my first "styles" with buttons and twine and eventually, armed with a metalsmithing degree and years of apprenticeship work, I started my own line of jewelry in my twenties.

From the very beginning, the vision was simple - design and make by hand - jewelry that I love to wear. It was important that I never send the work overseas or to let the delicate work of creation become contrived and manufactured.

My focus is, and always will be, on women who are seeking handmade, tine jewelry to wear for a lifetime. I design each and every piece with a woman or muse in mind. I then work with my lead jewelers to bring my sketches to life.

We hand select all the materials, create a prototype and I get to take each for a spin to make sure everything from dimension to movement is exactly how I envisioned it. I intend for all of my pieces to be lived in, loved and hopefully passed down for generations to come.
