I have been creating fine jewelry professionally for over 25 years, I began as when I was 13 years old and have never stopped. I was fortunate to be able to do an apprenticeship with Joe Apodaca, Joe's work is on permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian. I have been operating my own Main Street Design Studio in Sebastopol California Since 1989. Before that I did special order work for other fine retail Jewelers as well as sold my work to fine crafts galleries around the country.
I design and create 90% of the jewelry which I sell. I also do many special commissions in gold and platinum with diamonds or gemstones. Working with each client to design and create new exciting designs. I have many design styles to draw from antique to modern.
My focus is quality design and function. I make pieces that you can wear everyday, pieces that are designed for people with active lifestyles. I like to think in terms of how many generations a piece will last, making it a family heirloom.
