There is a saying in Japan, wabi-sabi, meaning there is beauty in the imperfect. I love making jewelry that is slightly off-centered either by stone-setting or just a little bend in the metal. I mix silver with gold creating a richness to my pieces. My jewelry embraces the fine craft of silversmithing using various techniques (soldering, casting, and etching) and always adding the sparkling aspect of faceted stones. And yes there is imperfection in beautifully crafted and designed jewelry. I call my style organic classic.
