You Have a Beautiful Story to Tell

 

Each of us is a survivor of something; illness, hardship, life, and it’s why we’re strong, confident, beautiful women. I hope my jewelry helps you express your individuality and personal style while making you feel amazing!

 

• Do you love to express your personality through handcrafted jewelry?
• Do you feel confident and authentically yourself out in the world?

Perfect. You’re right where you belong!

Life Challenges Sparked a Fire of Creativity

 

In 1996, I was a healthy mom of three, getting ready to plan my youngest son’s Bar Mitzvah, and out of nowhere, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

 

My life felt scary and my future suddenly uncertain, and I had to put my jewelry-making on hold to focus on getting well. When I was finally cancer-free, my passion for creating exquisite jewelry was stronger than ever before.

 

I learned how fleeting life could be, which gave me a new purpose and fueled my passion for helping my customers feel beautiful in their skin and expressing their individuality through my jewelry.

 

During my first vacation following my treatment, I felt vibrant and lucky just to be alive. While hiking, I discovered a fallen tree with the most beautiful design in the wood, likely from pine bark beetles. I snapped a picture, and this exquisite natural texture eventually became my signature design motif for my keum boo accented jewelry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside the Studio: A Peek into my Process

 

“My work is inspired by nature, texture, and a modern elegant aesthetic.”

 

Using the ancient technique of keum boo, I add 24k gold embellishments to my Yellowstone, Bryce, and Japanese Textile pieces to create a deep, rich contrast in my designs.

 

This technique is applied to necklaces and earrings and is modern, distinctive, and timeless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a discerning eye for modern, elegant jewelry that is distinctive and versatile, I design with 14k, 18k, and 24k gold, sterling silver, gemstones, and a wide variety of pearls.

 

My pearl and gemstone rings, earrings, and necklaces are versatile and classic but never stuffy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regardless of the materials or inspiration, my process is detail-oriented and maybe even a bit obsessive. Excellent craftsmanship is a must. I work meticulously to ensure my finished pieces are as perfect as I can make them.
