I delight in collecting treasures that reflect my lived experiences and that express my evolving emotions. I’ve been preoccupied with how jewelry is created, my entire life. Perhaps like me, you get a little thrill from spying the hand of the artist in the jewelry that calls to you; that labor of love, the distinctive marks that signal your piece is definitely not mass produced but thoughtfully, considerately, meaningfully brought to life. As I explore my interests at the bench, my one-of-kind ideas for rings, pendants and earrings grows. Once something is gone- it’s gone, so let’s connect so you can get first look when each new collection drops, to reach out with inquiries, discuss commissions or ask me any questions, anytime! I’d love to hear from you.

FAQ

  • I fabricate every piece I design by hand in my studios in New York and Block Island. It's just me and my tools—a collection growing like mushrooms— bringing each design to life. Occasionally, I will collaborate with trusted artisans in New York City for a custom engraving or small diamond settings, but the heart of every piece is crafted by moi.

  • I work in hand-alloyed, 22k and 21k high-karat gold and on occasion work with sterling, fine and Argentium silver in certain designs. I source fair-mined gems, reclaimed vintage stones, and objects from antiquity, stones from estate sales and natural objects that I collect and repurpose from my travels. This sustainable approach lets me create stunning pieces that are as kind to the earth as they are beautifully made.

  • Is a custom piece is calling to you?— I'd be delighted to hear about your ideas. Good things come from collaborations.

    Each commission will be carefully considered based on my current availability, timeline, and material requirements. I review every inquiry thoughtfully to ensure we’re both in alignment with our vision and I am able to give your piece the attention it deserves.
