Virginia was educated at Rochester Institute of Technology at the School for American Craftsmen with a B.F.A. in metal crafts and jewelry making. Virginia has a small studio at her residence in Cranston, RI where she works designing her unique line of handcrafted jewelry. Her line is all genuine sterling silver with semi-precious stones or freshwater pearls combined in a unique way in her own distinctive style. Each high quality piece is designed and hand crafted by the artist. The main techniques Virginia uses are casting and hand-fabricating in sterling silver. The pieces can then be used in a variety of combinations, with different finishes and in conjunction with many types of sterling chains and semiprecious beads and fresh-water pearls. Many of Virginia's pieces have movable elements, which as well as being beautiful to look at, also inspire a tactile interaction with the piece. . She is inspired by antiquity and by modern designs and architecture.
