I have three main lines of jewelry:

• WOOD WITH METAL INLAY: Each piece is hand-sculpted from a variety of exotic hardwoods, then metal (silver or gold-filled) is added in dot or line inlay. Some also have pearls or gemstones added. Once complete, the wood is sealed with a wax finish.

•  "ORGANICS" LOST WAX CASTING: I sculpt a piece out of jeweler's wax, then create a negative impression mold out of investment plaster. Then, I cast molten sterling silver into the mold; which destroys it – so each piece is unique. I am inspired by organic shapes, such as vines or roots to create asymmetrical and layered pieces; sometimes adding semiprecious gemstones, vintage glass, or gold accents. 

• "COILS"/"FRAMES": These clean, simple pieces combine metals (gold-filled, sterling silver, brass or copper) and can have an industrial-inspired coil motif, bringing 3-dimensional curvature to a piece – or geometric shapes formed in unusual combinations with semiprecious stones, pearls, or mid-century vintage glass (usually dated between 1950s-1970s). Sometimes silk fiber is used as the coiling around the metal to add color and a texture contrast. Many of the pieces have mobile parts, so one can spin/rotate/slide sections of the jewelry when worn.
