I hope this finds you in good spirits and absorbing the beautiful return of spring. This season always brings fresh energy and color inspiration, so I thought I’d offer a window into the creative studio that is my happy place. I’ve been hammering and forming with 22KT yellow gold, developing tiny shapes that dance into…
The year-end is a time for reflection and perspective-taking for my personal life and my jewelry business. I’ve just finished my 23rd year in this amazing industry. I’m planning a retrospective of sorts but meanwhile, I wanted to share a few custom projects from 2022. These projects range from brand new creations using new stones…
Clients bringing heirloom pieces for renewal always tell the story behind the piece.

This before and after photo collage shows what we can do with a well-loved engagement set when the owner wants to wear it differently. We designed a compass so she can always find her True North. Heirloom renewal is one of our favorite things to do.
It’s been a challenging year for all of us on so many levels that sometimes I find myself without words. However, I’m hearing from many of you and I know from my own life that we have all found creative ways to manage, new interests, and, for many, a clarification of what is most important….
What’s hiding in those old velvet bags from Mom’s old jeweler? Were you lucky enough to inherit a beloved Aunt’s jewelry? You might have a hidden gem in there that’s jumbled up with a bunch of odd stuff. Think Antiques Road Show. You’ve been meaning to sort through it but somehow, it’s still there. …
Dear Wonderful, Supportive Client-Friends: I’m still working hard despite this pandemic.
