Artisan - a skilled craftsperson who makes a high-end, distinctive product in small quantities, by hand and using traditional methods.

Yes, Im a real person! Every item in this shop is handmade by me, folded with care in my little basement studio just outside St Louis, Missouri. This means you wont see hundreds of identical items, and every piece is unique.

You may recognize the term "Allegro" as a musical term, meaning "brightly, with life", and I like to think that refers to everything I do.

I came to making jewelry through an unusual route: I started as a musician. I got into musical instrument repair, and found that much of the tools, equipment and techniques were also used in making jewelry. From there I went into working with silver. I've been doing origami for 12 years, and came up with the idea to combine the two hobbies.

Since I started folding origami from silver, I've been invited to participate in art shows and sold items to collectors around the world. I even have a piece in the Irish National Museum in Dublin.
