I have always been inspired by the Renaissance, Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Edwardian Periods. I like to create jewelry as if I was living during a particular era and wanted something a little "outside of the box"!  I  use vintage components and  vintage reproduction components, tooled from the same dies as the originals. I use genuine pearls, semi-precious gemstones, crystal, and Bohemian glass to create my unique pieces.  Most items are one of a kind, some can be reproduced according to the availability of the components used.
