I have made many friends throughout my life and years of travel. They are all very special and unique. Over time, I have become familiar with the many layers of their personalities. I have often been pleasantly surprised, sometimes even bewildered, and frequently amazed. They all have great meaning in my life.

 

Most of my jewelry is made out of up-cycled vintage silver-plated dinnerware. Not unlike my friends, the metal materials I use all have a past. They had a life before we became friends, a past I may never know but a friendship I have come to cherish.  During creation it is not until I transform the metal materials from their original state that their true beauty shines through. Often, I have found the silver outer layer turns into a beautiful golden brass hue upon sanding and polishing.  

 

Like myself and my friends, we are not perfect and neither are my creations, but I love them all.  This is my true passion and I keep those close to me near and dear to my heart. My pieces are one of a kind and like my friends, I would not have it any other way.

 

In memory of my best friend, my beloved Golden Retriever Maya whom I lost to cancer, I have created a special collection of pieces to celebrate her life and help animals in need. Ten dollars from each piece sold from the Maya Collection will go to Nashville Humane Association.
