New Work


moissanite wedding ringMoissanite and recycled 14k palladium white gold ring, made to order

One of my recent customers asked me to take some progress pics during the fabrication of his ring; I thought I might as well share them here too. :-)




And finally, a quick picture of my own bejeweled stubby fingers - this is one of my two most prized jewelry possessions - a custom made flower ring by Jenny Kim - yesterday I paired it with this kyanite ring that I made a long time ago and I thought it was kind of a fun look (though perhaps overkill on my very short finger).
