If I invited you over to my home for a cup of tea, I could walk you through all the nooks and crannies of each room and share the stories and personalities of every object that I own. It's wild that something that can’t eat or breathe can have so much meaning and feeling that energy inevitably seeps out of it. I really treasure every tchotchke, photograph, jewelry or art piece I own as a piece of my storybook. They sort of serve of catalog of my life, chock full of memories and stories that I’ve created along the way.
As a designer, I’ve been striving to envision new pieces that will look as beautiful on your armoire as they do when placed on your body. Can jewelry be both a piece of art, conversation-starter and something wearable at the same time? I do believe so!
I’ve been really inspired lately by the tactile and interactive nature when I touch some of my designs and how they feel when I wear them. Introducing Objects: I invite you to wear, engage and start a conversation about these very unique pieces. I’m so excited to share this brand new capsule collection with you.

Have you ever simply admired a piece of jewelry as an object? The details of the finishes combined with a story it might tell? Perhaps it’s a family heirloom or a precious gift from a special someone who is no longer with us. There can be so much meaning in just a little hunk of metal.
As your beautiful jewelry rests at night, each piece is a stunning object sitting in that handmade ceramic dish. Each piece is truly a treasure, a work of art, a perfect and even imperfect object…beauteous, all the same.
How do you feel about jewelry simply as an object? Share your thoughts with me in the comments below!
