I love showcasing fantastic gemstones and making them wearable pieces of art. The highlight of my jewelry designs come from pairing these amazing natural creations with beautiful metalwork.
Artist Statement
Making jewelry feeds my soul! I love nothing more than to look at a beautiful rock or mineral and be able to make it a piece of wearable art! The focus of my jewelry is primarily on the gems, but sometimes I'll branch out and do some metal only designs. Most recently, my jewelry has been shown in top British fashion magazines such as Tatler, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair and more. I love giving back to the community with my work, and donating to charitable organizations is an important part of why I make jewelry. I feel if I can give back to the community through my artistic vision, it helps make the world a more beautiful place.
