Women’s Strength & Power
We all know women who champion other women. They lift us up, encourage us, celebrate us. We need them! Witnessing women’s strength reminds me that I, too, possess resilience, strength and power. And in this way, they inspire me to be my very own champion.
Years ago, I had an idea. I wanted to design a piece that spoke to my inner power, to be a talisman to help me remember, even when I doubted, that I was strong enough to continue forward. I created a ring, the first piece in a series I’d come to call the Power Series.
Romancing the Stone
Often I find the process of my custom work surprises me in both unexpected and delightful ways. I recently started working with a client who discovered she had a stunning 4 carat Colombian emerald in a delicate setting that had been lost to the depths of a drawer, rarely worn. So she came to me wanting to transform it into something more her style that she could wear every day.
