I produce fine contemporary jewelry and other metal designs primarily in the precious metals of gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. These are often further defined with the addition of texturing, gemstones and other unique lapidary, or resin inlay. "Clean. Crisp. Geometric. Architectural. Subtle elegance." This is how my work has been described by visitors to my show booths, galleries in which my work is sold, and by clients who have commissioned me to make custom pieces. When designing jewelry or other metal work, I always think about whether I would wear it, use it, and/or display it. Anyone who knows me sees a reflection of me in what I design.
My Process
My Process
I use various processes depending on what I’m designing and fabricating. Soldering, acid or galvanic etching, bonding 24k gold to silver through Keum-boo, adding pigmented resin inlay, hammer and stake forming, texturing, pulse arc welding, and stone setting are just some of these processes. In this video, I show part of the stone setting process for properly setting a faceted garnet in a 14k gold tube setting in a custom “Twinkle Ring” – a series of mine – that I was commissioned to make.
