Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 12–14 & August 9–11, 2024
Handmade gold, silver and platinum jewelry with genuine gemstones and pearls. I specialize in hand sculpting modeling wax from which precious metal castings are made, yet many pieces are hand fabricated from scratch. After casting the parts, I clean and solder all the parts together. My finish consists of a process of sandblasting, polishing, heat treating and brushing. The stones are mostly bezel set for durability and to create a bold look. Incorporating colored gemstone beads and pearls in between my metal work is essential to my vision. The designs in my work reflect a classical sensibility with an eye toward the contemporary that appeals to the patrons of today.
