The series of photos below are a necklace that I made for Brenda Clough from exquisite jade that her grandparents brought here when they came from China. Working with jade of this quality is always a joy.
Photo of the necklace - pearls in butterflies are natural pearls.
Close up - carving on the wings are lovely.

I'm currently working on several new designs including a necklace of asymmetrical textured silver pieces set with diamonds. i just finished a pair of garnet and peridot earrings in wax. I'm feeling very energized around my work.

The photograph looks beautiful unless you've seen the original
