After practicing psychology for years, I discovered jewelry design and, in working with gemstones and pearls from around the world, my fascination with nature was rekindled.

My work is inspired by the endless interaction of textures, colors, shapes, and light. Using a combination of my own handcrafted .980 fine silver beads, 18K gold, personally selected high quality, gemstones and pearls, my line of jewelry is “casually elegant”, tailored, sophisticated, and feminine with architectural influences. The movement and feel of the jewelry on the body is integral to each design.

It is always gratifying for me talk with both existing, loyal customers and new ones at trunk shows and other venues; their appreciation of the visual aspect of my designs as well as my thought process behind the designs never fails to give me added incentive and keeps my creative juices flowing. Each of us has an individual form of self-expression; I hope my designs, in some way, provide a sense of inspiration to others.
