The technical challenge of utilizing seemingly disparate and juxtaposed textures and colors to create tension, contrast and a visual focal point is primary aesthetic that inspires the direction of a my jewelry making.
Through a transparency of process, I seek to work in tandem with my materials evoking forms that are at once surprising yet familiar; rustic yet refined; always functionally appropriate for wearable jewelry.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, hand fabricated from all recycled metals.Ê No new silver or gold mining. Gemstones are certified conflict-free and diamonds Kimberly Process certified.
