All of my jewelry is designed by me and hand-fabricated by me from milled raw materials such as gold sheet, wire, tubing and solder.
Most of the gemstones you see in my work were purchased from lapidary artisans who specialize in the cutting and polishing of stones. It is not unusual, however, for me to trim stones I’ve bought to suit a particular design and, occasionally, I cut a stone from scratch.

I seldom need to look beyond the richness of gold – my favorite metal – and an infinite variety of stunning gemstones to find inspiration. As a jewelry designer, I am always searching for creative ways to frame, embellish, complement and/or contrast with a stone or interesting combination of stones. That search has led me to explore diverse metal-working techniques in an effort to expand my design vocabulary – and so, inspiration also emerges from the technique itself. That’s the case in my recent experimentation with broom-casting.
