Does it mean something? Sure does!

The Mushroom Collection was inspired by my daughter. As a toddler, she would playfully search for hidden mushrooms in the woods around our home. Her face would light up when she noticed a tiny mushroom tucked behind a tree. Giggling, she would point to these hidden treasures & invite me to her world of imagination. It became a playful game as the forest indulged her curiosities.

The Marie was my first charm! The Marie is a hand carved gemstone in the shape of a shell and set in 14k yellow gold. Worn alone or mixed with your existing collection, I designed this charm as a wink to my vintage collection. As are most of my designs, I really wanted this charm to feel like it has always been here.

It all begins with an idea. A love of art and jewelry that began when I was just a child. I would poke through my mother’s jewelry box picking out anything that sparkled. My maternal grandmother was an antique collector and had boxes of estate jewelry in her home. What a treat it was to pick through her boxes filled with jewels and imagine the stories behind each piece! She would let me keep a few pieces that caught my eye and I still have them today.

My business began here - all those years ago. A curiosity and a keen eye was developed and I began to hone my individual style.
