Happy artist making pretty shiny gold jewelry in a quiet corner of rural Maine.
I remember the first time I held a torch flame to a lump of gold and watched it slump, puddle and spin like a tiny molten world unto itself. I was blessed to have a mentor who understood that I was an independent, learn by doing type artist. With a short lecture on how to be safe and not destroy her studio, or blow myself up, she gave me free rein to experiment and learn, learn, learn.
Today I concentrate on high quality, long lasting, super comfortable, solid gold jewelry designs based on 35 years of experience of working with customers.
On Etsy I specialize in solid 24k gold and 18k gold jewelry pieces exclusively.
24k gold is hypoallergenic and healing as well as beautiful. The feel of a pure solid gold object in your hands, or worn as personal ornament, is truly wondrous. The rich color is magical, deeply satisfying, and always appreciated. When in doubt, give the gift of pure 24K gold!
For customers who desire tougher gold items, or want a lasting high shine, I offer lots of solid 18k gold designs.
In my studio I often play sacred music in the background as I work. Buddhist singing bowls, Gregorian monks, Hindu temple chanting, and Hildegard Von Bingen's early Christian music to name a few sources. My intention is that the calm, positive, healing energy of this music infuse every piece of jewelry I make.
Enjoy browsing and thank you for all the support. I have the nicest customers here in Maine, and all over the world!
