There are no words to say how beautiful this silver cuff is. The harmony of the sculpted ridges and the subtle texturing are a joy to look at. Xena is a goddess! Superfast shipping.

I love them ! The delicate design, very high quality (I can see they are resistant), both elegant & casual if I want, not too shiny. Thank you very much for the nice packaging and this wonderful creation !

Fine Jewelry

Fine Jewelry - High Quality Gemstones, Precious Metals, Elegant Design

I started designing jewelry in 2008, making basic items using beading and wire wrap technique. My designs always reference my love of history, fashion, and different cultures. Today the jewelry combines more advanced metal working techniques, such as etching, forming, cold connections and uses a combination of findings made in house and some from outside vendors.

The love of color is one of the prime inspirations in all the designs, so the quality of the gems, precious and semi-precious, is paramount. To ensure the quality of the pieces, all the metal is solid - gold, silver, bronze, coppper. I do not use any fill, plate, or vermeil. A lot of time and attention is used to create the perfect combination of stones, balancing the colors, stone cuts and shapes, and proportion to create the best design possible.

All of the designs are constructed in house, and the reliability of the jewelry is top priority. It is meant to last for ages, not just a season. If there are any problems, which so far hasn't happened, I do encourage my buyers to bring it back to me.
