About me and my jewelry: I have been making jewelry for more than 30 years. It all started in high school, when I had the opportunity to take courses in jewelry making and metalsmithing while growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My glass jewelry designs were born 15 years later while studying furnace glassblowing at a local studio. I became obsessed with working with hot glass and decided to incorporate it into my jewelry designs.
I make each glass bead used in my jewelry one at a time using the lampwork technique. My jewelry is truly unique because I design and make by hand the entire piece (from the glass to the silver setting). In most cases, the photo listed here is not of the actual item you will receive, but I will ship you one just like it either immediately or make the item for you.
I am inspired by color and simple, clean design. My jewelry is contemporary, vibrant with color, yet easy for every day wear!
