Last year, I took a few lapidary classes with the help of a scholarship from the Women’s Jewelry Association. Then I invested in equipment such as a trim saw and cabbing machine for stonecutting. For months, I immersed myself in cutting stone rough, grinding, polishing, and drilling. The fruition of my efforts are these two collections, which are made from hand-carved rock crystal and paired with recycled 14k gold when possible.

The Lumen Collection was actually ready to go in June, but I had to deal with health issues (hello tendonitis, back pain, and adult food allergy!), so everything had to be put on the back burner while I focused on getting better. The Lumen Collection with its soft curves finds inspiration in cold mornings and the luminous light of a new day.

On the other hand, the Lucid Collection is a reinterpretation of the acrylic jewelry I used to make in precious materials. This capsule collection pairs icy, faceted rock crystal with traceable brilliant diamonds. The gold bar piercing through reflects moments of clarity in your life, when you know exactly what to do, and you make singular decision that will change the course of your life.

Thank you for patiently waiting as I navigate the challenges and daily life of being a small business owner and independent jewelry designer and maker. I’m glad to have you along on this journey.

Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter by November 4th!
