My take on jewlery is simple: elegant, whimsical or colorful, I want the jewelry I wear and create to make a “statement”. The pieces I create are never shy or retiring, and each one is unique. If my jewelry shares a theme, it is nostalgia with an edge. I use vintage components dating from the Victorian era through the 1960s. Bakelite, glass, rhinestone, metal or wood - button, buckle, game piece, or vintage jewelry – if it strikes my fancy it may show up in one of my pieces. The variety allows a woman to find a piece that reflects her personal style.
