Deeper Meaning.

Rings came calling to me from a faint dream deep in a NYC apartment. Queens, NY! What a magnificent place to pursue nature in jewelry.

+++

It was there I began to notice that to control nature is to attempt to make it your slave. Nothing wants to be a slave. A ring is alive! Jewelry is the same. I do not confine the jewelry design to a drawing, sketch or thought. Every piece becomes what it will through the will of nature and fate.

+++

Freedom to the spirit of the piece. Peace through the spirit of adventure. To break free we must accept the nature of the objects we choose to own and or wear. The spirit of whomever built our clothes, homes, jewelry, food, cars and spaces are in them. To feel free, we must embrace it.
