About

THE JEWELRY THING

A recovering magazine creative director, I pivoted in 2023 to metals to nourish my lifelong fascination with the art of jewelry. Drawn to everything bold, from brilliant color and playful graphics to modernist and classical design, I apply ancient goldsmithing techniques to hand-fabricate rings, amulets and earrings in high-karat gold with the highest quality gems and carved stones chosen for the emotions they excite in me. Tinkering away in my studios in NY and on Block Island, I surround myself with images of my muses: iconoclastic women artists who lived their lives in service to their passions. Singular, precious and powerful are the guiding touchstones for every piece I create. My goal is to one day leave this world draped in gold like an Egyptian queen. My jewelry is for rule-breakers, rebels and collectors of beauty who share that lofty ambition.

I am also a Pisces with a Capricorn moon. I have no idea if that means anything but want badly to believe it does. I’m an omnivore and a baller home cook, and technically capable of knitting hats, though I rarely finish one.

Let the beauty we love, be what we do. — Rumi
