A Note on Zircon:

Zircon is a natural gemstone and one of my favorite stones to work with due to it's refractive index, which gives it a rare dazzling sparkle. Zircon occurs in several colors but is its most beautiful in blue and aqua.

This lovely gem is in no way related to similarly named cubic zirconia or CZ, which is completely synthetic and will not be used in any of my artwork.

I only work with beautiful and natural gemstones.*

Sterling Silver

My snowflake collection is so named because I make each piece by rearranging small shapes that I've created into infinite new designs. This collection is very dear to my heart because it is how I got my start in making jewelry as a little girl. My mother taught me to bend, hammer, file, design and torch solder silver with this project when I was 11 or 12, so this is how I learned of and fell in love with metal and fire. Once I had perfected this technique I was making dozens and dozens of these 'snowflakes', as I began to call them, and they quickly became a regular sell out in the jewelry art gallery that my parents' owned in the arts district of Columbus Ohio. I will always cherish my snowflakes for the memories of receiving my lifelong passion for design and micro metal sculpture, and for the happy memories of working with my talented mother.

14k Rose Gold With Spessartite Garnet Hearts and Morganite Drops

These romantic and intricately designed earrings are a gorgeous statement, with lovely warm tones. Spessartite garnet belongs to the large and varied mineral group of garnet. Until the recent discovery of a mine in Namibia, spessartite garnet was rarely seen in jewelry. Its name is derived from former occurrences in the German "Spessart" Forest. In the past, garnets were exchanged between friends to symbolize their affection, and to ensure they meet again.

*A Note on Tsavorite:

Emerald has always been the rarest and most valuable of the green gemstones. But its preeminence is challenged by an even rarer gem from Africa, the chrome green tsavorite garnet. While emerald continues to be a classic gem, many gem dealers would argue that fine tsavorite is in many ways superior to all but the very finest emeralds.

Compared to emerald, tsavorite is a more brilliant and fiery gem, with color saturation that can be matched by only the finest emeralds. Where emerald tends to have a sleepy look, due to its lower refractive index and many inclusions, fine tsavorite is relatively clean and transparent with twice the dispersion (fire) of emerald.

Unlike emerald, tsavorite is always completely natural and untreated. Because of its many surface-reaching inclusions, emerald is almost always fracture-filled with oil or resins.
