The carnelian glows. 🌿
Five panels of sterling silver, each one holding a carnelian cabochon from my neighbor Hugh's collection. Hugh collected Native American and southwestern art his whole life and when he passed these stones came to me. I love knowing where they came from.
The twisted wire between the panels reminds me of roots — tangled, organic, alive. Jump rings connect each panel giving the bracelet a fluid movement on the wrist. A safety clasp means you never have to worry about losing it.
Substantial but not heavy. The kind of bracelet you put on and forget you're wearing — until someone asks about it.

Some stones carry history in them. This one carries centuries. 🌿�
Uzbekistan turquoise has been mined from the Kyzylkum desert for over 8,000 years. Traders carried it along the Silk Road. Kings noted its superiority in their annals. It was the gemstone of ancient Eurasian exchange networks stretching from China to the Black Sea.�
And now this stone — cut by Siberian Gems, acquired through a benefit auction — has landed in my studio in the Pacific Northwest.
The color is a spectacular light blue with thin chestnut brown veins. In one section a small circle emerges, outlined in lighter blue with a camel brown interior. It looks like a tiny island in a vast sea. Something ancient and alive.�
The sterling silver surround has whimsical oak shaped leaves curling up the sides and just over the stone. Silver balls edge the piece, some detailed with a shot plate pattern. A solid backplate. Substantial and grounded.�
Earthy. A little Roman. Entirely its own. 🌿�

The Wild Tendrils collection is here. 🌿

The first three pairs are listed in the shop. All one of a kind. All born from the bits and pieces of my studio — forgotten findings and little treasures that finally found their home.
Long, playful and asymmetrical by design. A fairy spirit let loose at the bench. Each pair has its own personality, its own story, and a few surprises waiting just for the wearer.

No. 01 · No. 02 · No. 03 are live in the shop now — with more on the way. Link in bio. 🌿

Introducing Wild Tendrils 🌿

A new collection born from the bits and pieces of my studio — the little components, forgotten findings and leftover pieces that never quite found a home. Until now.

Wild Tendrils are long, playful and asymmetrical by design. Each pair is one of a kind and completely its own. No rules, just creativity and a fairy spirit let loose at the bench.

This first pair features an om symbol, swirls and circles, my signature silver nest, a herkimer diamond set in hand-formed prongs, a tiny turquoise for a pop of color and a cubic zirconia set in a little silver ball. One earring is 3½” long, the other just over 4”. Because symmetry is overrated. 🌿

These are made to bring you delight when you wear them. That’s the whole point.

Some stones find you at exactly the right moment. This one did.

Hubei turquoise is a longtime love of mine — and this stone is exactly why. A long oval of light green and blue, threaded with tributaries that wind into a wide lake and then another. It looks like a map of somewhere you’d want to get lost.

This particular stone had been quietly waiting in my stock drawer. I was drawn to it right around the time I wanted to start exploring a new design direction — leaves, ribbons, organic movement. It felt like it already knew what it was waiting for.

The metalwork around it came from those early explorations — when I was still figuring out what these shapes wanted to be. Smaller leaves, ribbons with movement, little stems with balled ends that make me smile every time. There’s a whimsy to them I wasn’t fully expecting and decided to keep.

There’s a lot to discover here. The stone draws you in first — and then the details in the surround reveal themselves quietly, one by one.

The stone is my absolute favorite part. But I think the whole thing is pretty wonderful. 🌿

This one is somewhere in the middle — which is sometimes the hardest place to be.
The bezel is soldered down. The design components are raised and waiting. I’ve drawn the cut line in sharpie, tracing the flowery outline the piece will eventually become. There’s texture scored into the backplate between the shapes — tiny marks that catch the light once the patina goes on. And tucked inside the bezel, held in place with a little dental floss, is the most serene blue seam opal I’ve had in a while.
Dental floss is a maker’s trick. It lets me check the fit and then lift the stone out to keep working.
I’m still deciding. More components, or let it breathe as is? Pendant or statement ring? I’m sitting with it — and sometimes that’s exactly the right thing to do.
I don’t love it yet. But I love that stone. And that’s usually enough to keep going. 🌿
