Prior to actually crafting any jewelry, I research the items I have found to learn more about their history and origin. Some of this history can be discovered through special markings I find that might give me a clue as to the original designer and time period. Some of my favorite vintage jewelry designers include Coro, Sarah Coventry, Miriam Haskell and Trifari. The history contributes to the unique story associated with each piece of art I create.
The next step in the process is to look at the construction of the original artifacts. I assess the strength and integrity of the overall structure which helps me determine the flexibility I have to repurpose each item into a new design. This includes ensuring the precious and semi-precious stones are secure and the hardware is intact. Sometimes my changes are merely a restoration of the original but often times I dramatically change the design to create a new piece of wearable art.
I find artistic inspiration in a variety of ways. In fact, I sometimes hold an original piece of jewelry for an extended period of time before a vision of the perfect redesign or purpose presents itself. For example, I enjoy transforming individual earrings and vintage shoe clips from the 20’s and 30’s into stylish pendants. Or I may even convert a 1950’s necklace into a bracelet. Whenever possible, I use vintage materials, although I always change the ear wire on earrings and usually the clasps on all necklaces and bracelets. I generally use sterling silver or gold-filled for the hardware unless other matching materials are needed such as brass or copper.
As you can see, I get great satisfaction by immersing myself in the research, design and “renewable” process to create one-of-a-kind jewelry that fits a variety of tastes and individual styles.

Damascene bird necklace
Regular price $60.00Take flight with this piece. A bird in flight can represent a number of things. I like to think it is adventure and soaring to new heights. Some take comfort in the image of the bird and one person recent shared with me a hymn about how “God keeps his eye on the sparrow and I know he watches me."
The Damascene pendant is vintage from Toledo, Spain. Damascene jewelry is generally made by inlaying oxidized steel with gold or silver. This pendant is approximately a 1/2 an inch in length and dangles from a gold plated 18" chain.

1970's gold hoop earrings
Regular price $50.00These earrings are super light weight and fun. I am a product of the 1980's where big and heavy earrings dominated the scene.

They are complemented with a black bead encased in a gold swirl basket that was from a 1970's necklace.

Saturn earrings
Regular price $60.00These modern art earrings are captivating. They are a combination of a 1960's chain link and a black resin triangle. The black and gold work well to complement each other, but the triangle drop can be any color of your choice. It the link is turned to the side then I think it resembles the planet Saturn.
The triangle measures 21.7 x 24.8 x 4mm and the earrings are approximately 1.5" in length and dangle from gold filled ear wire. They are very light weight.
