I have been involved in the jewelry business virtually all my life. As a youth, when my
friends were playing softball, I was often looking through a microscope at diamonds
while my parents chatted with our friends who owned a fine jewelry store. This began
my lifelong love of precious and semiprecious stones and metals.

My involvement with jewelry of all types included making bead and wire items in
college for spending money, to selling and refurbishing vintage and antique jewelry, and
even selling loose diamonds in a traditional fine jewelry store. Later, after leaving a ten
year career in a corporate natural foods manufacturing business, I had time to reconnect with a friend who told me about a silversmith class that sounded like a good path to creating jewelry full time. I took a couple of beginner classes and I was hooked!
Since then, I have studied with various professional jewelers to enhance my knowledge
and experience. I hand fabricate jewelry in my Colorado studio using Sterling Silver, 14
to 24 Karat Gold and natural stones and beads.

Today I’m happy to say that my jewelry is in collections both nationally and
internationally as I share my love of the healing power of beautiful adornment.
