While working as a gemologist and antique jewelry specialist in New York, I was inspired by gems and pearls and how they’ve been worn throughout history. When I moved back to the Pacific Northwest, I learned the skill of hand-knotting on silk and started making jewelry to be worn and treasured - daily.
