We began working together in the year 2000. Our talents melded naturally in the medium of metalsmithing and jewelry. Since then, we’ve forged a passion and ever expanding knowledge of the incredible stones that we use. Our style has developed over time to express our reverence for the natural world and its enchanting details, and we’re honored to create jewelry pieces that become personal talismans.
We are fabricators. Each piece is constructed using sterling silver and high karat yellow golds. The stones we use are a major focus and source of inspiration, not only for design, but also they are the impetus to create meaningful adornment. Each stone is chosen for its exceptional quality and we tend to gravitate toward fine and unusual specimens. We also cut some of the stones ourselves in our lapidary studio.
With our work, we hope to spark a connection between the wearer and a moment, whether past, future or present: a commemoration of sorts. Our aim as artists is to create powerful jewelry, for one to enjoy as personal heirlooms and affirmations of spirit.
