Jewelry

Simple and elegant, daring and bold - handcrafted jewelry is a personality, a thought, a feeling expressed in precious metals and gems. The creation and collection of jewelry, is about intimacy. Something personal is expressed in the wearing of handmade jewelry.

Inspiration is drawn from the functional and sacred objects of many cultures. Interpretations of objects and symbols such as the abacus, mandala, papoose, and spiral are integrated with contemporary forms influenced by industrial society and technological architecture. The artist utilizes fabrication methods such as lost wax casting, forging, fold forming, conventional and innovative stone setting, soldering, and Ethiopian book binding as tools to create a link between the ethereal and functional. In doing so, the artist creates a conceptual bridge to span the gap of time, joining our collective history to the globalization of present society.

The timeless beauty of a world class gemstone is an invitation to create an elegant setting that seeks simplicity over complexity.

My handmade jewelry is inspired by some of the oldest designs known to humankind: Square, Circle, Triangle, Spiral and Equidistant Cross. My understanding of these designs was forever changed by the work of a cultural anthropologist who traced these five Universal Symbols and their meanings from the beginning of human culture.
