- About Me:
- Born and raised on the East Coast, my interest in art design began at a very young age when I picked up a pencil and began to draw from a National Geographic magazine. It only grew from there. I continued my artwork, sketching and drawing, stain-glass, and fabricating jewelry throughout high school. It was during this period when I began displaying a flair for fantasy and whimsy in my work . These were the beginnings of the distinguishing style that can now be found throughout this collection.
In 1996, I received my degree from the Institute of Jewelry Design and Technology, where I learned the fundamentals of traditional jewelry making, as well as casting, stone setting, and working with precious metals and stones with many of the traditional designs and styles often seen in higher end jewelry stores.
I hope to bring a wide range of interests to my design abilities by focusing on metals and stones which lend themselves to a more natural and organic feel, such as sterling silver, copper and semi-precious gemstones. The superior blend of silver casting grain I use is more tarnish resistant and comprised of alloys which will rarely cause skin allergies. You can even feel the quality difference in the sterling silver itself. Only the finest semi-precious gemstones adorn each creation.
Utilizing a rich contrasting blend of textured finishes allow for unique conceptual designs in my work - not only will these designs be a topic of conversation, but you will enjoy the handsome and detailed work, as well as the substantiality of each handcrafted piece.

- (Designers only) I create:
- I custom design work, as well as my main focus, which are bridal headpieces and tiaras but not in the traditional style. I strive for creating unusual and eclectic themes based on a bride's desire to be different and true to herself. While I've nothing against the traditional, I fabricate for the palette of whimsy...and to design within a niche of something new, something different.
I also make bracelet cuffs and pendants to match...and these are excellent as accessories or as a stand alone!
