Uniquely inspired collections

Asian Cultures in Southeast Asia and the Indo Pacific have an intimate connection and intrinsic harmony with nature. Their architecture, textiles, daily rituals, and arts reflect a special reverance for God's creation. While I have always felt a very special connection with nature, my travels to Indonesia have been a catalyst for my jewelry designs. The volcanic island vistas, terraced rice fields, ceremonial costumes, ornate architecture, exotic plants, incrediblly diverse marine life, beautiful coral reefs, and the generous and loving people I've met, have influenced this collection. |

Earth Elements Dramatic sunsets over ocean frontiers, thousands of stars shining on a deserted beach, slices of metallic mineral deposits, and design motifs of ancient Indian civilizations are the inspiration for this collection. A few pieces in this collection even incorporate sound! This collection is almost entirely sold out. New designs will be available soon! |

General The general collection includes individually-unique pieces not associated with any themed collection. The pieces still incorporate nature-inspired textures, patterns and colors -- they're just so unique that they defy being classified! |

Spiral Galaxy "Spiral Galaxies” is the name of this new collection for Fall/Winter ’05. Just like spiral galaxies in space, each disk-shaped piece is thicker in the middle. At choker length, it nestles perfectly in the hollow of your neck. The swirls of color and micro-fine, gold and silver metallic particles appear like distance stars. The subtle tonal qualities of each piece might bring to mind swirling gasses, infinite space and the cosmic, black holes. The hand-mixed clays and gold/silver leaf I’ve used for this collection permeate the entire piece; they are not painted on the surface. This contributes to the visual depth of each, one-of-a-kind piece. Click on the thumbnail image to see a totally distinct design on each side! |

Spirals The spiral is a design motif found throughout nature -- on land, in the oceans, and in the heavens. This eclectic collection of jewelry was inspired from all these places. Each of these pieces is a one-of-a-kind design with unique characteristics. There is sure to be a spiral to meet any mood. |

Yellowstone Yellowstone National Park contains some of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. Yellowstone's vast collection of geothermal features provide the inspiration for this jewelry collection. From the sights, sounds and smells of sulphur cauldrons to colorful canyon walls and chromatic springs, each of the pieces in this collection attempt to capture a piece of the beauty and mystery of Yellowstone. |
