Design<\/strong>
I\u2019m a silversmith who builds tiny sculptures from flat silver sheet and wire, shaping them into wearable art. I\u2019m endlessly drawn to the organic forms of nature and the tactile joy of textures and patterns \u2014 my work tries to balance both. Every piece begins as a sketch, becomes a puzzle in metal, and ends as something meant to be held, worn, and felt.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Process<\/strong>
My inspiration always begins with the gemstones themselves. I pick up the stone\u2014or the pair\u2014that quietly calls to me, the one that sends that familiar little spark through my chest. That moment feels like the beginning of a conversation. From there, everything becomes deeply personal. Ideas drift in tied to memories, moods, and pieces of myself I don\u2019t always put into words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I open my sketch pad and let my hand move before my mind catches up\u2014page after page of shapes, textures, and half-formed thoughts. Eventually, one design feels right in a way I can\u2019t explain. It\u2019s not a problem I\u2019m trying to solve; it\u2019s more like I\u2019m following a trail I\u2019ve walked a hundred times, yet it still surprises me. Each piece becomes part of my own story long before it ever exists in metal and stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craftsmanship<\/strong>
Once a design finally crystallizes, that\u2019s when the real work begins. It\u2019s the slow, meditative part\u2014turning flat sheet silver into the forms I\u2019ve imagined, sawing each curve and contour by hand. No two stones are ever the same, so every bezel has to be coaxed into place, fitted carefully around the unique shape it\u2019s meant to hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then comes one of my favorite moments: soldering the bezel to its silver backing with my trusty torch. Each design has its own rhythm and its own strategy\u2014deciding which step must come first, which can wait, and how the whole piece will come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every stamp, every strike of the hammer is something I deliver with my own hands. It\u2019s slow work, yes, but it\u2019s also the part where the piece becomes undeniably mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
