I create impeccably crafted contemporary mixed metal jewelry focusing on hand cut stones from rare old stock collections, intricate handmade chains, my own designer sterling beads and lots of color and texture. Pieces are a combination of several techniques including the lost wax process and various forms of fabrication. This includes chasing, grinding, sawing, texturing with a rolling mill, fire torching copper, smashing or whatever process can achieve the look I’m going for. I’m currently in the process of including felted wool in my jewelry as well! Most pieces are finished first through a long process in a vibratory tumbler and then detailed after according to what is needed. This includes polishing at the wheel or dremel, setting stones, adding rivets or a final textural element.
