A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "Driftwood, beach rock & sea glass in elegant juxtaposition w/ 18k gold diamonds & pearls typify my art jewelry collection. I also craft fine jewelry in 18k gold & sterling silver with diamonds, sapphires, & emeralds. My largest body of work is a broadly accessible line of simple, elegant pieces handcrafted in silver & 14k gold-filled wire. Modern yet timeless jewelry made in a variety of materials accessible to a variety of customers in a wide range of pricepoints. I'm a second generation jeweler with over 50 years in the crafts business bringing experience and innovation to a solidly established range of work that is elegant & easy to wear. I am one of the few artists currently working in silver & gold-filled to a fine jewelry standard."
