Inspired by objects from the past, my jewelry gives a nod of appreciation to my family history, the tradition of decorative arts, and the documentation of a different time and place. My work often includes hand set glass cabochons that have been reclaimed from decades-old costume jewelry and antique maps from my collection of old atlases all from the same era in the early 1900s.

The hand pressed delicate forms in vibrant hues of glass from a bygone era, and the imperfections of the print process and artistry in navigational maps of yesterday are some of these details that can't be replicated by their modern counterparts.There is a beautiful history within these pieces of the past and I desire to honor them by giving them a new life in a fresh modern design.

All the metalsmithing in my work is done in my downtown Columbus, Ohio studio using little more than my two hands, hand tools and a torch. Each item I make is given individual attention and extreme care beginning to end. The quality you will find is evident in the details. You can feel good about supporting a small, independent American business.

{GREEN}

I am dedicated to keeping my studio as green as possible. As much as possible, I source my precious metals from a refiner of 100% certified recycled and conflict free sources. Recycled silver and gold is indistinguishable in quality and appearance from newly mined metals. I strongly believe in doing my part to keep my business as sustainable and low impact on the environment as possible.

I also utilize reclaimed materials and fair trade gems in my work whenever possible.

I recycle all my precious metal scrap and dust.

I use green practices in my studio eliminating as many chemicals with safer alternatives to decrease any environmental impact.

Every purchase is packaged with love in a 100% recycled gift box with paper ribbon.
