In my small workshop in Seattle, Washington, using techniques that span millennia, I design and craft jewels that reflect and reinterpret the ancient Mediterranean traditions of jewelry-making
I work in 18k and 22k gold, silver, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones. My designs are inspired by the Roman, Hellenistic and Byzantine past of the Near East and adapted to a more modern aesthetic. Occasionally, I incorporate found objects in my designs, drawing ideas from shapes and forms in nature and the world around us.
