How do I make this?
Each piece is made entirely by hand, by me, from glass and precious materials which are fused together in the intense heat of a kiln. I begin with a variety of different types of glass ranging from exotic dichroic (with it’s fantastic light reflecting qualities) to sheets of plain clear or black glass. Further steps include cutting, grinding, etching, layering colors, inlay of precious metals (14K gold, nichrome, sterling, copper, 24K gold), application of pure precious metal over glazes, painting on an exclusive (my invention) mineral based colors which are reverse fired inside the glass, engraving and finally, many pieces are multi-fired at different temperatures. Followed by further cleaning, and wire work using anodized niobium wire, sterling silver and other precious metals to finish. Overall each piece goes through approximately 12-20 steps. Each piece is unique. All work and designs are
strictly my own!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design Concepts:
I am fascinated by universal designs, visual rhythms of shapes, colors and combinations of groupings (in numbers) and application of those concepts to design. It has been proven that certain designs and combinations of groups, colors effect the human perception and spirit in pleasing (and negative) ways. Each piece, no matter how large or small has thoughtfully been designed with a rhythm and design in mind to please the human spirit.
My Goal?... I hope you feel GREAT when wearing or viewing any of these pieces!

Yes! All of my jewelry is nickle free. If you have VERY sensitive ears, I recommend upgrading to titanium posts/wires or niobium as these are the most hypoallergenic of all metals.
