| Location | Michigan, United States |
| Introduction | I am an Independent Studio Jeweler and have an Associates of Fine Arts. I am self-taught, but for one workshop taken at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts to enhance my skills. Sometime, perhaps, I may go on for a BFA in Sculpture. I specialize in hand-crafted, historically inspired, one-of-a-kind jewelry using a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to: chainmaille, wire-work, metalsmithing, and Steampunk. Each ring has been coiled, cut, and woven by hand with many clasps also being handmade. |
