A client commissioned this necklace and earring set to wear for her daughter’s wedding. She brought me her dress so I could see the cut and color. We chatted as I made a few sketches until she said, “That’s the one—go for it.” While I worked from the sketch, the pieces really came to life in the fabrication process as I made design choices around the gold work and gemstones. As a focus, I chose to use Montana sapphires, for their soft blue quality and freshwater pearls for their luminous texture and organic irregularity. The combination made me think of ocean life: the way sea vegetation and animal life are layered and move underwater, catching the light from above.

REFURBISHED RING
Set with Maine Tourmaline and sapphires this ring was lovingly worn daily for over 25 years.
It was totally refurbished including re-cutting the center stone. I made it larger and it is happily back home on my client’s hand.
PEARL CAP
An initial drawing was proposed for this stunning Tahitian pearl that had been collected over 20 years ago.
The client decided on a simpler design and I sent her a photo and video of the hand carved wax for approval.
The finished piece was cast in 18K palladium white gold.
