I’m a local New Jersey artist and have been making jewelry since the 1990s. Currently, my work is about beautiful stones and colors. I bring color to my work by utilizing natural stone beads, copper, brass, crushed stones, leather, and beautiful vintage beads. I believe that paying close attention to detail makes my work feel personal to the wearer.
I do all the metal work and fabrication of every piece, including bezel making and stone setting. My goal is to have a unique relationship between my work and customers.
