How did it all begin? Like so many of my colleagues I really fell into to the jewelry business by accident. I started part time, my first year in college, while I was studying art and design. I loved it! I decided that I really wanted to try to incorporate my studies into the jewelry world.  I began taking sculpture classes, and went on to apprentice a wonderful goldsmith who focused on modern, cutting-edge design.  While I still find some of the uber modern pieces fascinating, I never felt that I was able to express myself through them.  

After getting married, traveling, and living life, I eventually found myself needing employment, and approached a family friend who is in the fine art and antique jewelry business.  He really became a mentor and introduced me to antique and estate jewelry.  It was exactly what I was looking for.  I loved the passion that went into the designs and the handcrafted workmanship of each piece.  All that art history I studied,and never before had I studied the history of jewelry.  I was fascinated. I decided to make a career of the jewelry world, and I was encouraged to go through GIA and become a gemologist.

The aesthetic movement, the art nouveau period, and the arts and crafts period are my favorite periods right now, but that could change with the next piece of jewelry I find or story I hear.  Some of the designs take my breath away.  I love to think about who it was created for and the stories these pieces could tell.  I also love the Victorian, Belle Epoque, and Art Deco pieces, the Victorian symbolism and the deco frivolity.

So I have decided to finally share my passion.  The pieces shown are hand picked by me and some are from my own collection.  I am always looking for a new old treasure to share with you.
