Every piece of studio jewelry has a story, in fact, two: creation and celebration. Each cut from a jeweler's saw separates it from the ordinary. Each blow of a hammer impresses a rhythm of life. Each lick of heat builds energy. Each file stroke defines uniqueness. Each gem adds character. Each maker's mark identifies the jeweler and celebrates expression of the wearer.
