I create my work by combining indigenous beadwork techniques with traditional European fine jewellery materials. The result of this synthesis is a line of fluid, comfortable jewellery featuring opulent gemstones accented with rich high karat gold.
Please contact me or one of my galleries if you are interested in any of the pieces shown here, or if you would like to see more of my work.
