The preciousness of some stones calls for a frame that resists time and showcases the moment and importance of the gem.
The result is not that of a frame and content, but rather an inseparable whole that promises timelessness.
Simplicity and readiness to be worn casually are part of what makes silver pieces attractive. They possess a friendliness that doesn’t overwhelm either the stones or the wearer.
As these pieces are worn they keep a record, becoming special and unique. The antiquing property of silver transforms time into charm.
We put attention into selecting all the stones we work with, making sure they all have inherent quality and integrity.
There are individual stones that have such a strong presence and life to them that they grab your admiration.
Feeding from one source and pouring into another, these designs are drawn from the call of two ends: memories of the past and experiences of many cultures.
But it is in this time and space that we create tomorrow’s past and the new shape of the future. The result is an attempt to reconcile past and present; nostalgia and hope.
Natural gem stones are the starting place of many designs.
Others are inspired by the natural world and reflected in the metal’s ability to take on desired qualities; surface texture with an organic flow, shapes that are spontaneous and unforeseen, or design elements carefully crafted to reflect the ways of nature.
