Inspired by Nature
Welcome to the world of exquisite jewelry craftsmanship, where passion meets design, and each piece tells a unique story. As a dedicated jewelry designer, I find joy in the artistry of my craft and the intriguing interplay between materials, vision, and expression.
In my creative journey, I often ponder questions like, "Can I manipulate materials to convey my emotions?" and "How does my choice of materials reflect my mood?" It's a constant exploration of aligning my vision with the right materials, ensuring that each piece is not just a display of skill but a testament to my growth and artistic evolution.
My artistic roots trace back to Europe, where as a young teenager, I had the privilege of experiencing the rich tapestry of design during my family's three-year stint in Italy and Spain. The European influence, coupled with the unique shopping experiences of the mid-'70s, left an indelible mark on my style and sensibility.
While pursuing a major in Fashion Illustration in college,
I delved into various artistic pursuits, including a brief metals class. However, it wasn't until two decades later that I answered the call of my true passion—jewelry. An apprenticeship and professional training in stone setting became the turning point, and I haven't looked back since.
So, what kind of jewelry do I design? Think stackable, classic pieces with a touch of Rome and European inspiration, reflecting the textures and styles I witnessed in Italy. My focus? Whether it's stones or metals, I put them on the bench, play with ideas, sometimes sketch, and let the creative process unfold organically.
Engaging with the metals, I've learned that each behaves uniquely, and certain stones find their perfect match with specific metals. Technical nuances have been mastered over time, adding a layer of expertise to my creations.
But beyond the craftsmanship lies a deeper connection—a commitment to honest conversations and one-on-one connections. Let the work speak for itself, and in the process, create individual Memory Pieces, forged from loved ones' treasures.
Currently, my focus is on crafting pieces rooted in European inspiration, infused with multi-cultural elements. Picture luxury metals and artisan-cut gemstones like tourmalines, ridge cuts, cabochons, and diamonds coming together in harmonious elegance.
In essence, my goal is…
To bring the ethos of European shopping and collecting to the US, creating not just jewelry but wearable art that transcends boundaries and captures the essence of a moment, a feeling, and a story. Welcome to a world where every piece is a masterpiece, waiting to become a cherished part of your journey.
