Nature of jewelery

I have long been captivated by semi-precious natural stones, amassing a collection over the years before recognizing their potential in jewelry craftsmanship. During my travels in Indonesia, I a studied in the ancient art of silver smithing, collaborating with local artisans to master traditional techniques utilizing tools passed down through generations.
I use some of these traditional techniques in my work but also add a contemporary approach to create a unique line of jewelry which I like to call “wearable art.”
