There is a personal bond with jewelry.   It changes an individual’s mood and disposition; it is selected for a specific activity, event and event location.  I strive to create something relatable and familiar from a distinctive time period using ornamentation that will be recognized because it looks familiar.  A psychological bond must develop between my jewelry and the people that choose my pieces as self adornment.

 

Capturing motifs from different eras, my work remains similar to patterns from historical architecture.  I want the wearer to desire the exploration of every aspect of my piece.  The interior, exterior, texture, size as well as structure must be captivating.

 

My ultimate goal is to have objects create a multi-faceted sense of being.  They must urge the necessity to explore the mystery of the object, capture the imagination while holding on to an inner peace.
