Fine Craft and Art Shows at Chautauqua July 11–13 & August 8 –10, 2025
The key stages of the processes are WAXING (a wax model of the design is carved), CASTING (metal is poured into mold & allowed to harden), STONE CUTTING (cut the stone to desired size & shape), SOLDERING (to form a bond between materials), FILLING & GEMSTONE SETTING and finally POLISHING. Each piece I create is imbued with a sense of narrative, inviting the wearer to connect with their own story. Whether it's a bold statement piece or a delicate everyday adornment, my creations are meant to resonate with the unique essence of the person who wears them. Sustainability is a guiding principle in my work. I strive to create jewelry that not only captivates the eye but also reflects a commitment to ethical practices and responsible sourcing. Ultimately, my goal is to create more than just jewelry; I aspire to craft wearable experiences that empower individuals to express their authenticity.
