Roaming sandy beaches; feeling the warmth of the sand filter through my toes as I stop to pick up a shell. The foaming surf tumbles bits of sea glass to smooth perfection. The objects found, the diversity of textures, and the many colors of the water and sky, are all reflected in my jewelry. The element “water” bestows a calming mood, and a reconnection to nature. It is my intention that a piece of this tranquility will be experienced by the wearer.

What is metal clay? Metal clay is a product that is 99.9% metal with a binder and water. It is formed in the clay stage and becomes metal after firing in a kiln at a very high temperature. Once fired, any traditional jewelry technique may be applied. Metal clay is manufactured from ethically mined materials, as well as recycled metals from scrap jewelry, cell phones, computers and industrial waste. Metal clay is green.
