Get to Know

I like classic lines but I am drawn towards statement jewelry, so many of my pieces are classic with the twist of being slightly larger than life. I also like to hide details that are only known by the wearer; such as etchings on the back of a ring. I believe it makes my jewelry feel a little more personal.

Everyone should have one piece of jewelry that is special, whether it is a statement necklace for special occasions, or a ring that is worn every day. If I can create those pieces for someone, I am happy

These are some of my favorite rings. Each stone is very special to me, they were either bought on vacation or given to me by someone who means a lot. I took a lot of care finding unique settings, almost to highlight how special the stones were to me.
