Bio

Always a crafty person, I started making jewelry as a creative outlet from my nine to five job. What started out as a hobby, turned into a consuming passion.

Each piece of handcrafted jewelry is as unique as the individual wearer. No two pieces are exactly the same as the wire and the stones dictate the design. I find my inspiration everywhere – in nature, the cityscape, friends, music, colors and the beauty of the individual stones.

Crafting for Charity:
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of items listed in the Charity section go to benefit a charity. Currently all items in that section benefit the Half the Sky Foundation which works to better conditions for children living in Chinese orphanages. This is done in honor of my daughter Vivienne Chao who was adopted from China in 2006. Find out more about Half the Sky at http://www.halfthesky.org
