Designer's Notes

As an artist I've made many paintings that now hang on walls. They don't move and the viewer must always approach the art. In contrast to that ...

Jewelry gets around. And the woman wearing it is the most important part of the artwork. As she moves, her jewelry can become an unexpected pleasure for everyone nearby. Jewelry has been enhancing and traveling for thousands of years, since our beginning. Archaeologists now think that wearing beads as jewelry 82,000

years ago marks a major shift in human consciousness toward the self-awareness of modern humans. Pretty heady stuff for humble beads!

So, going with the humankind flow, I take my love of color and shape and texture, add in my art and jewelry-making training, toss in a few imaginings about who may be wearing the jewelry I'm designing, and form it all into elegance that can move around the room. Unfussy elegance. Sometimes quirky elegance. Sometimes, especially in the summertime, just for fun and colorfully unique elegance. All made for enjoyable easy wearing and designed to enhance each woman's beauty for a very long time. There may even be some mysterious influence on human consciousness!
