My jewelry are a mix of colorful and conservative pieces. I am looking to get in to some bold pieces in the near future. I am very into making something unique that you wouldn’t necessarily find at a store. I make all my pieces here in the US. All my pieces can be found on my Instagram and Facebook page. I am revamping my website currently to make it more intuitive and using an effective platform. It’s been more than 10 years since I started making jewelry.
I have recently added Floral Preservation to my work. I grew up on a farm and planting and greenery has always been a place I’m at peace. Flowers has always been evident in a lot of things I do. My daughter got married this year and I decided to help her with preserving her bouquet and floral ensemble. While doing this I found myself engulfed in it and decided why not. I love working with people and seeing their amazement when they see what is created brings me a sense of satisfaction that I have made that person’s day. Follow me on this journey. It will be fun.
