Why do you buy a piece of jewelry for yourself? Is it to quietly mark some core resilience inside you that only you know about? Is it a handshake with the past. An anchor as you rush through the present?

I've been a silversmith for 17 years and the ready made collection presented here is about fun. It's about grabbing a bright shot of joy out of necessicity and hanging on through unnecessary roughness.

I also do custom work and hope the jewelry you see here gives you ideas about what you would like me to make for you.
