I can feel the waves lap up onto my bare feet. I hear the rhythmic motion of the water expanding and retracting, like breath in the body. The sun is warm on my shoulders and neck. Peace, calm…
 
Ethically sourced Aquamarine set in sterling silver with fine silver bezel. Hung from a sterling chain.
 
All my pieces are individually handmade from natural stones and recycled metals. No two items are alike, and they will all have natural imperfections. These imperfections imbue the work with unique personality, grit, and story – the stuff of character. 
 
Stone jewelry shouldn’t be worn in water or exposed to chemicals (soaps, lotions, detergents). I like to think of stones as living things (on much different time scales than the ones we are accustomed to). To extend their lives, we need to limit their exposure water and other chemicals/liquids.
