The Line Ring grew from one of our longtime favorites, the oxidized silver Sausalito Ring. By translating that same hand-carved line into solid 14k gold, the design takes on a completely different feeling: warm, substantial and especially well suited to a wedding band or everyday heirloom. Here’s how one [...]

When our client brought us a yellow diamond created in memory of her beloved Lab, Bert, the stone already held an incredible story. Our job was to give it a form she could wear every day. We designed a simple 14k white gold ring around Bert's memorial diamond, creating a deeply personal keepsake meant to keep [...]

In the summer of 2024, I packed up the van with my trusty co-pilot Migs and drove more than 8,000 miles through 17 states. What began as a cross-country adventure became something much bigger: time to think, reconnect, meet incredible people and find my footing again after a very difficult chapter of my life. [...]

I don't need an entirely new wardrobe every summer. Give me a small collection of well-made clothes, good vintage, a wild print or two and plenty of jewelry to change everything up. Here's how I use rings, bangles, necklaces and earrings to get more mileage and more personality out of fewer clothes. And yes, I'm [...]

There are some pieces of jewelry you don't have to think about. A really good pair of hoops goes on with whatever you're wearing, works in your first, second or third piercing and somehow makes you feel a little more pulled together. I've designed plenty of earrings over the years, but I keep coming back to the classic [...]

Have you ever taken off a piece of jewelry and admired it simply as an object? I think about that constantly as a designer. I want a piece to feel incredible on the body, but I also want its shape, movement, materials and tiny details to hold your attention when it's resting on an armoire or sitting in a ceramic dish. [...]

Some of the smallest pieces I design carry the biggest stories. The Spread the Love and Infinity designs are both tiny, symbolic pieces with a lot of feeling behind them, and together they’ve become an important part of the Petite Symbols Collection. Each one is meant to be subtle enough for everyday wear while still [...]

2023 became the year I started questioning an idea that had driven much of my career: that doing more was always the answer. We focused on smaller launches, gave product development more room to breathe, introduced designs like Spread the Love, Storybook, the 14k Rogue Ring, Infinity Necklace and Zodiac [...]

A few tiny letters can hold an entire story. The Sweet Pea Bracelet pairs a substantial sterling silver cuff or bangle with a hand-carved channel personalized with letters or numbers that mean something to you. From a single initial to MOMMY, MA or TIA, each hand-stamped version becomes entirely your own. [...]

Sagittarius is often painted as the zodiac’s eternal optimist, but I’ve always been more interested in the contradictions within this sign. The Centaur is part instinct, part higher mind, while Jupiter carries stories of both excess and redemption. When I designed the Sagittarius Ring, I wanted its contrasting [...]

A tiny black diamond set into a substantial silver band became my way of interpreting Scorpio without taking the symbolism too literally. Inspired by darkness, depth and transformation, the Scorpio Ring is your everyday armor and a reminder that there can be beauty in the parts of life we can't always see clearly. [...]

Balance is kind of Libra's thing, so I designed a ring around it. The Libra Ring pairs two parallel lines and two contrasting metals in one symmetrical design inspired by the sign of the Scales. Silver or gold? In true Libra fashion, I'm making a case for both. And if you are a Libra, make sure we know when your [...]

Virgo has a reputation for noticing what everyone else misses, which made the sign a natural inspiration for a ring where one tiny detail does all the work. A single hand-carved, oxidized line runs through the center of a substantial brushed silver band, turning precision, restraint and attention to detail into [...]

I first learned about Burning Man in 2001 while working in an Oakland furniture design warehouse, watching artists build enormous sculptures destined for Black Rock City. Six years later, I finally made it to the playa and fell hard for its creativity, freedom and completely wild culture. In 2023, after twelve years away, I went back [...]

Leo isn't exactly known for shrinking into the background, so I wasn't interested in designing its namesake ring to disappear, either. Ruled by the Sun and associated with creativity, confidence, vitality and a little well-earned extravagance, Leo inspired a raised diamond ring designed to catch the light and steal [...]
