Natural gemstones have always intrigued me - the look, the feel, the composition within each
stone. Their quality brought forth thru shaping, grinding, and polishing to bring out its inherent character. Cutting and
soldering the Gold and Silver to display these marvels of Nature. It is just so exhilarating to have this all come together
from my minds-eye, and create a thing of beauty. Beauty is all around, but it sometimes takes creativity to make it most apparent.
Either way, I would enjoy helping you obtain the best value for your jewelry
dollars. If you have assumed that you could not afford a personaljeweler; I think you will be surprised at how cost effective
creativity can be.

Setting stones in pre-casts settings does not, to me, express the individuality of the jeweler or of
the buyer. To my mind, that "cookie cutter" approach also does not fully enhance the beauty of the stones.
I am a custom design Jeweler located between Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. I will provide the settings of
your choice for any of my gemstones in stock, or work with a stone that you may already have, or we can order just what you
want, and create from there. I can travel to meet you for a consultation, and together we can create just the piece you had
in mind. We do not even need to limit ourselves to gold and diamonds; everyday silver, and beads, and Swarovski Crystals are
also beautiful and unique.
I can work from a design sketched on a napkin, take an inherited
stone and bring it back to life, or repair and restore a beloved piece of either modern or antique jewelry.
