Handcrafted Art Jewelry

Jewelry, like fashion, can be a very personal form of self expression. Therefore, a piece should be as unique as the person wearing it. 

My favorite materials to work with are sterling silver and semi-precious stones, I utilize artistic techniques such as reticulation and Keum boo, an ancient Korean gilding technique, to create various patterns and textures in the silver. This adds to the unique quality of each one of a kind piece of jewelry

Shop Keum-Boo

Keum-boo ( “attached gold") is an ancient Korean gilding technique used to apply thin sheets of gold to silver. Traditionally, this technique is accomplished by first depleting a surface of sterling silver to bring up a thin layer of fine silver. Then 24 carat gold foil is applied with heat and pressure to produce a permanent bond.
