The necklace was originally made 20 years ago, and yes—this is the photo that sent me.
Back then, Tommy was incredibly chill. He told me to stop by his home in Malibu to bring him the necklace, but I had a young child at the time, so I asked if I could mail it instead. Later, I learned it had been lost while he was on the road.
During COVID, I reached out, and he commissioned me to make another because he said he loved that piece. Since then, he hasn’t taken it off in six years, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
I’ve always considered my jewellery to be unisex. In fact, I wear bracelets in this same style every day myself. I love that the work is obviously handmade—it’s clear it isn’t mass-produced—yet it still feels timeless. That’s always been my goal.
As an independent jeweller, I’m competing with major designers and brands—many with huge marketing budgets or celebrity gifting campaigns. I’m just one person. No big company, no factory, no machines. Every piece is made by hand using traditional old-world silversmithing techniques and simple hand tools.
I do hope that one day I’ll be credited for this design. I’m sure it will be copied, but I’m a small independent maker trying to make an honest living. Every sale helps pay the bills, and every share really matters because it’s my only advertising.
Thank you to everyone who supports handmade work and small independent artists. It means the world to me.
