Jewelry is an important, powerful and long lasting medium. Jewelry transcends time and can quantify emotions. The feelings elicited from my work and a desire to wear it are my reward.
My work cannot be ignored, those who buy my work want a piece to wear that does not go out of fashion. The strength and beauty which radiate from my work are a reflection of the wearer. My niche is a well worn path started by my own father and grandfather and other classic studio artists, personal art made to be worn.
A desire to learn drives my work. New techniques, metals and stones or historic motifs inspire my designs. Color captures my eye and the thought of the beautiful women who will wear my work keeps me inspired.
I want my work to be discovered by collectors, a wonderful secret they are happy to find. My rich family history and inclusion in important national collections are my introduction to jewelry connoisseurs. Well crafted and designed and made of solid metals and genuine well cut stones will keep me collected. My strong point of view will be noticed when you see it. Worn as an accessory or as the focal point of your fashion. Please enjoy looking at my jewelry or commission your own pieces to enjoy for generations.
