For over 30 years I have been creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces in sterling
silver
and gold using unusual semi-precious stones. My designs have the
influence of
ancient religious cultures with a contemporary feel.
The stones I choose for my designs are usually works of art created by
nature,
by setting them in silver and gold makes them even more precious.
The art of creating jewelry expresses the spirit of the designer.
By adorning
the body with one of my pieces, I would hope that it helps
them get
in touch with their inner spirit.
