I use a variety of materials, mostly focusing on hypoallergenic and waterproof metals such as stainless steel, sterling silver, and gold filled metal. I work with precious gemstones, wood, preserved flowers/greenery, handblown glass, resin, polymer clay, paper, and fabrics. I avoid using any animal products in my designs and all supplies are ethically sourced. A portion of my proceeds go to the Buffalo Children’s Hospital.

I use a variety of methods! Some of these include
1. hand stamped designs and words onto soft metals for rings/pendants.
2. Detailed micro painting on different material, mostly metal bezels and pebbles.
3. Drilling and wrapping gemstones
4. Handblown glass replica pendants of berries/seeds/fruits.
5. Detailed clay and polymer work
6. On the spot customization at festivals, it allows customers to design their own piece of jewelry, choosing their own gemstones, ring size (I will hammer it out in front of them), chain lengthening, and much more!
