It is amazing how geologic forces create minerals and crystals that come together to create gems, colors, and textures beyond our imagination. As a lapidary artist, I love to artistically reshape stones and crystals to accentuate their beauty, rarity, and unique properties.

My jewelry is always focused on the stone and I love incorporating natural, untreated, high quality and rare stones that I have cut myself into my jewelry designs. Combined with the rich colors of real silver and gold, I like to hand craft one-of-a-kind jewelry creations that will become special keepsakes that you can enjoy for life.
