My work fuses the enchantment of the natural world with the sophistication of fine jewelry. The foundational pillars of color, natural stones, elegance, and simplicity come together in every piece. My work ignites curiosity and delight by combining unexpected and uncommon gemstone materials into wholly unique creations.

The journey of jewelry making is just as significant for me as the final product. Whether Iā€™m carving wax, casting, designing 3D models, or fabricating jewelry, my greatest joy springs from continuous learning and exploration. The art of cutting and carving gemstones is both meticulous and labor-intensive, and results in one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the distinctiveness of every gem. I relish handpicking raw materials or collecting them directly from the earth as a way of remaining deeply connected to every step of the process, from rough materials provided by nature to hand-crafted masterpiece.
