Crystal Ruff Necklace SOLD
Jewelry as Art-to-wear has a long and rich history. The colors, textures and intrinsic value
of the elements of adornment have varied throughout the ages. However the desire to express
individuality, and in some ways one's place in a culture, remains one of the primary
motivations for owning and wearing unique jewelry.

Exploring many less-than-traditional ways of using jewelry as an art form
continues to motivate my design vocabulary. Glass, in unconventional forms, is one of the
staples of my earring designs; the tops of which are multilayered reverse painted and metallic leafed. Meticulously created one at a time.

After years of observing the jewelry of many cultures, and falling in love with the materials, my work is
highly personalized. And, while most of the designs originate through my creative interpretation,
I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients in translating their vision
into wonderful, wearable and notable jewelry statement pieces.

In an increasingly technological society, the value of handcrafted jewelry
lies in its ability to evoke singular responses. True ART jewelry always employs one

This innovative art form, Jewelry Sculpture, combines designer jewelry with custom art,
creating rare treasures that adorn both spirit and domain.
One part function, two parts art. Together fabulous!
*One part can be worn—as a necklace, bracelet, or earrings—while the
other part stands or hangs anywhere art might be displayed. The two parts
are designed to create a seamless whole when together, but are equally
beautiful and functional when apart.
The owners of JewelrySculptures will be able to enjoy their
beautiful jewelry even when it is not being worn!
