When I start a piece of work, I envision the crystals chosen and piece together what combination will work best for style, shape and presence it will have. Every piece of jewelry I hand-make using only my hands, pliers and cutters. I use .925 Sterling-silver, Silver-filled, Gold-fill and copper wire material. I put good intention, love and the utmost care into my work and each piece is unique to its own. Every crystal gets its own unique setting according to its size, shape, color and metaphysical property. My process is sometimes longer than others but I generally put in between 10-40 hours from beginning to finish on any given piece.
A crystal goes through a journey, it all starts in this earth where is it found, mined, and sold through person to person, it then gets in the hands of a lapidary artist to be cut, polished and make its way to a jeweler. Now, many journeys a crystal can go through are different and sometimes take many years to make it through to its ending home but with my work I’m somewhere put within that journey.
