The materials I use come from a wide variety of sources. I make every effort to establish a personal relationship with my sources and maintain contact with them in an effort to find both the unusual and the highest quality.

My process begins with the raw materials; beads, spacers, clasps, pendants and other findings. I use brass, copper, sterling, vermeil and gold as well as a wide variety of stone beads. Many are semi-precious or precious. All are the best quality or different (sea glass, lava, etc.)

The selected materials dictate the form. The construction of each piece is carefully considered until the finished product is realized, inventoried, photographed, listed and sold.
