From This to That

I am inspired by so many things when I create my jewelry. I can find inspiration in the strangest places. Recently I completed my Autumn/Winter Collection for 2014. Believe it or not, it was based on wine and wood!

Love, love, love all the wonderful aromas and flavors from plummy, jammy to green apple. Equally interesting are the color variations that inspired me when I was choosing gemstones for the new collections. 

In my world a "big red" wine might be a garnet or red carnelian.

A very buttery Chardonnay is a goldstone.

Nature always plays a role in my creations as well. The orangey bark of the Medrona tree reminds me of rust colored suede. 

The textures of the varieties of tree barks are reinterpreted in my choice of chains.

From this

to that!
