Over 20 years ago a passion for making jewelry became my profession. In 2003, I sold my house and took what money I had and enrolled in classes at The Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California and the Revere Academy in San Francisco. I was trained by masters in Gemology, design, and jewelry making.
I have had the honor to win several national and international awards with jewelry I have created. My work is influenced with life in the southwest and my travels throughout the world. I love taking photos and making sketches to incorporate into my work. My clients include everyday people and collectors who buy for those they love, including themselves. I also design in partnership with other designers for their jewelry creations. I intend that the pieces I create have quality, beauty and functionality. My products are made in the USA and are manufactured of recovered metals.
Because I create a wide variety of pieces in different styles not all my jewelry is for everyone, but I hope that most can find a piece that speaks to them and says take me home, wear me or give me to someone you love.
