My mission is to bring joy by adding more color to people's lives with one-of-a-kind jewelry. I’m just a wife and mom (mom to 4 humans, one dog and 6 chickens), doing what I love to do and trying to make people feel truly special as I do it.

It’s not just jewelry. It’s art! All of my jewelry is one of a kind, many are what I view to be just as much art as they are jewelry as there is definitely an artistic or sculptural component to them. I only create in solid precious metals (no vermeil and rarely gold filled).

I will most definitely give my customers a piece or collection of jewelry that NO ONE ELSE will have, and that provides a true sense of uniqueness and confidence. A lot of a woman's identity is tied up in how they present themselves and how they feel about their own style and express that.

• Quality: is critical because I feel when you're spending this kind of money it should last a lifetime and more, and be able to pass it on to your kids. It’s important to me in a special way because today I have pieces that were my grandfathers and grandmothers, and I cherish them.
• Investment: If you're spending this kind of money you don't want it to lose value over time, it should increase or maintain it's value.
• Heart and Soul Connections: Some of my absolute favorite and best clients are ones that I have developed a personal connection to and relationship with. I know what’s going on in their lives and vice versa. It’s so much more than “just business”.
• Leaving no trace (or as little as possible); I do my best to ensure that I’m using ethically sourced gems and sustainably produced or recycled metals. Metals are all from USA based companies and I do my best to buy gems from USA based sellers or ones abroad that I have developed a trusting relationship with over many years.
