Since 1993 I have been making beautiful handcrafted works of wearable art jewelry for my company, 1 World Creations.

I was born in Brooklyn New York and now make my home in Southern California with my husband Jim and Rocky, a cat rescued by our adult daughter Ruby.

After years of jewelry making experience, learning a new technique still gives me a thrill. My decades long obsession began with the loomed beadwork I sold as a teenager in the 60s in New York City, where I grew up among artists and educators. My current work goes beyond basic fabrication to include techniques such as stone setting and inlay, alloying, overlay, etching, roller printing, granulation and keum boo.

My work is influenced by my African American and Caribbean heritage, as well as by an interest in geology, natural and architectural forms, and the aesthetics of art nouveau.

The designs are my own, and while I occasionally use a few high quality manufactured clasps and chains, all other elements are made by my hands individually and with attention to every detail. There's a piece of my soul in each one.

Having recently concluded a successful career in the Film Music Business, I am excited to devote my energies to full-time jewelry making in my sunny studio. I hope you will follow my journey!
