Custom Designs


For the past 7 years, I have been studying and working in the world of contemporary art jewellery with its strong tradition of one-of-a-kind design and production. Within my Contemporary Collection, I hand pour and color each individual piece of resin. This allows me to specifically dictate the color and luminosity of every piece. I pay great attention to color gradation and the rhythm created through these shifts and differing combinations of color.


My Contemporary Collection reflects observations of the world around me. I continually look to colors in nature for inspiration. Since moving to Florence, I have become captivated by the images of fashion photography. I am particulary drawn to fashion photography, for its diverse use of color to both compliment and direct the image. My contemporary jewellery is a translation of all of these various inputs into concrete color and form.


My Fine Collection draws inspiration and has been a natural evolution from my Contemporary Collection. The Fine Collection reduces the Contemporary Collection to it's most basic elements: line, form, and movement. It also incorporates similar handworking methods, as I individually hammer every piece of gold. More recently I have begun to incorporate colored precious and semi-precious stones into the Fine Collection. This provides me another opportunity to use color, but through the use of a new material.


Every element of my jewelry is handmade. Therefore, I am able to modify these pieces by size, color, and metal to meet the specific needs of my clients.
