Most pieces are one of a kind or a limited edition of 2-200. All work is signed and stamped for materials identification (gold, Sterling, etc). I take great pride in making pieces that will last for generations with good care and a polishing cloth. All pieces are shipped gift wrapped with care and no paper receipt, so you can gift away!
I like to design for every body and spirit, and I don’t feel that any of my designs are for any particular gender.
It is possible to be a metalsmith and an environmentalist. I use all recycled sheet metal, wire, and casting grain from long time, well known, reputable sources. I recycle my own scrap metal in my castings, and with a reputable recycler to make more sheet metal, wire and casting grain. Metal is a material that can infinitely change it’s shape and has been extracted from the earth for thousands of years. It can become something new, over and over again, and there really is no reason to remove any more from our planet with toxic and ugly mining practices. Bits of it are always being tossed, and it is financially worthwhile for people to recycle, so I could have particles of lost pirate treasure, floating about in a pendant…

And, to our adaptive credit, we have used gemstones, extracted from the earth to study and learn how to grow our own real gemstones in labs. So there’s really no reason to dig any more of those up either. No mining, no slavery. The only blood on my hands is my own when I work too late! I will happily recycle gemstones folks already have or use lab grown real gemstones. More about lab-created diamonds here.
Come back often, and see what shows I may be participating in! I love to do craft fairs around Denver and Boulder, and show my more sculptural pieces in pop-up shops and galleries when I can.
