My jewelry is entirely hand made in Chicago, IL, cast and fabricated in recycled metal and meticulously hand finished and polished. I pride myself on making limited edition, hand finished fine jewelry with a high standard of quality, customer satisfaction and sustainability. I use recycled metal which has been assayed for purity, (never any lead!) All Jewelry comes in a 100% recycled box.

Now most items will come with my maker's mark, Ps, as proof of authenticity. I make most of my jewelry in limited editions of 20-50 pieces. How long I sell something depends on how much I enjoy making it vs. how excited I am about my new ideas. Since I make all of the work myself, with the help of a local casting house and one other metalsmith, when business is super extra busy, I can only offer each design for a limited run before retiring it to make way for new pieces.
Most items listed in the shop are already finished and ready to ship, though it is no problem to re-size a ring or change the length of a chain. Please send a conversation with questions or other feedback. Custom orders are always welcome.

New works are in progress so keep your eyes peeled! Currently at work on several custom bridal pieces for various wonderful couples, as well as iterations of my brain ring with various things within!!
In free time I draw a lot and ride my bike up and down the Chicago lakeshore when its warm enough and my bike hasn't been freshly stolen. Plenty of time is also spent attending to the hanging gardens in my home/studio, which consists of dozens of strange, beautiful plants. I am particularly partial to ferns and cacti. Although, my brain cactus just died.
Thanks for your interest! Send me a conversation if you have any questions or special requests.
