How does a therapist become a jeweler? Surprisingly, there really is a close link between the two arts. A therapist hopes to shed light on the inner world of each client. Jewelry, as well, acts as an agent of personality and soul. It has the power to communicate the emotion and inner story of the wearer. Each of us also has a unique psychological response to the color and symbolism of precious stones.My designs are inspired by the warm palette of Southern California, as well as travel and architectural elements. With an eye for fresh color combinations and inventive symmetry, I use 14k gold and ethically sourced diamonds and colored gemstones to create jewelry that is both wearable and refined.
