After moving to New York, I found myself returning again and again to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I spent countless hours studying ancient jewelry and artifacts, drawn not only to their beauty but to the subtle traces left by the artisans who created them centuries ago, the textures, the quiet imperfections, and the evidence of the human hand. Those visits inspired me to study jewelry making and ultimately shaped the foundation of my own creative practice.
Today, every collection begins in my home studio in New Jersey and is brought to life through production in New York City. While modern technology plays an important role in refining each design, every piece first takes shape through hand carving in wax. It is the part of the process where I feel most connected to the work, allowing each form, proportion, and surface to evolve naturally before it is cast into precious metal.
The dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary techniques defines my process. Organic silhouettes, sculptural forms, and carefully considered details give each piece its own quiet character while honoring the traditions that first inspired me.
I believe jewelry should become part of the person who wears it. It should gather meaning over time, mark significant moments, and grow more personal with every year.
Rather than erasing the marks of the making process, I choose to preserve them. The subtle textures, soft imperfections, and traces of the human hand are what give each piece its character. They are a quiet reminder that behind every design is a craft shaped slowly, thoughtfully, and by hand.
My hope is that each piece feels timeless, not because it follows tradition, but because it is created with intention, authenticity, and a deep respect for the craft.
Because the most beautiful jewelry is never simply made, it is lived in.
