Wedding Rings
I had fun making these rings! They are entirely hand-fabricated of brushed fine silver using an overlay technique.
The symbols were given to me by the couple who commissioned the rings.

Married Metals Tie Clip
This piece is made of hand-hammered brushed copper and brushed silver. The metals pick up light with a soft glow. The design on this piece reminds me of the southwestern mountain landscape where I grew up.
The clip is 1 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide. Signed on the back.

Married Metals Cufflinks
These cufflinks are a shadowbox hollow form made of fine silver and copper. Brushed silver has a subtle sheen that picks up the warmth of the copper. Hand-hammereing allows for evidence of the process in making these.
Traditionally, shadowbox jewelry is made with stones like turquoise. Here, I’ve used hammered married metals as the the centerpiece to the shadowbox rather than stones.
Hand-fabricated (made by hand). Due to the nature of the process, no two pieces are alike.

I am so excited! Dana Singer, the Executive Director of the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG), just informed me that she liked my work so much that she used my gold and silver cocktail bracelet for a full page ad in South Scottsdale Magazine for the SNAG Trunk Show that I will be in at the end of May!
The ad is on page 9!

Sun and Moon find Balance – Married Metals Earrings
Entirely hand-fabricated (made by hand), hammered, copper and silver married metals earrings with turquoise.
Hatha is sanskrit for Sun and Moon. In these earrings, Sun is represented by copper and Moon by silver. Two turquoise pieces represent balanced energy. Turquoise may also represent the sky and in the Hindu chakra system, it is the color of the Vishudda or throat chakra. Throat chakra represents Divine Will and communication.
These photos were took before the earring wires were put on to make them dangling earrings. Wires are silver. The earrings are approximately 1 3/4″ long by 1/2″ wide. Signed on the back. Entirely hand-made. No two earrings are alike.

Anticlastic Cuff – Fine Silver
This anticlastic cuff is made of fine silver. Rather than closing the bracelet for a rounded hollow form, I have left it open so that the inside of the bracelet is visible. The opening is about an inch wide and is highly polished, contrasting with the outer edge of the cuff, which is brushed silver.
A simple, bold piece. Fits medium to small wrists. Signed.
Hand-fabricated (made by hand), one-of-a-kind.
