​​There Is Meaning in the Making

The Ebb & Flow Collection was inspired by the natural cycles we all experience.

Life moves in seasons of momentum, pause, return, and renewal. Some moments carry us forward with certainty, while others ask us to slow down, reflect, and trust that growth is still happening beneath the surface.

Each piece in this collection explores one part of that journey. Handcrafted in sterling silver and paired with carefully selected Wave Jasper gemstones, every necklace, bracelet, and ring is created to serve as a quiet reminder that our experiences do not define us | They shape us. There is beauty in becoming.  There is meaning in the making.

Introducing the Riverstone Series

The Riverstone Series grew from one necklace that unexpectedly inspired an entire collection.

Created as a made-to-order sterling silver series, these rings, necklaces, and earrings celebrate craftsmanship through texture, form, and simplicity. Inspired by stones shaped over time by flowing water, each piece reflects the quiet strength that comes from patience, resilience, and the experiences that shape us.

Every Riverstone piece is individually handcrafted to order in my Washington studio, carrying forward the same philosophy at the heart of the Ebb & Flow Collection: What we move through shapes who we become.

The Story Continues

Although the Ebb & Flow Collection is now available online, the journey isn't finished.

Throughout the remainder of the summer, I'll continue releasing new one-of-a-kind pieces as each Wave Jasper gemstone finds the setting it was meant for. Every design begins with the stone itself, allowing its unique shape and character to guide the creative process.

I invite you to check back often and watch the collection continue to unfold, one piece at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

There is meaning in the making.

I would love for you to follow along.

Follow the process on Instagram and YouTube to see the collection take shape, piece by piece.

Thank you for being here and for honoring your own ebb and flow.

The Ebb & Flow Collection is Here

After months of designing, creating, photographing, and writing, I'm excited to finally share that the Ebb & Flow Collection is now available to shop online.

This collection has already been traveling with me to art shows throughout the summer, but it has taken time to thoughtfully photograph each piece, write its story, and prepare it for its permanent home here on my website. In many ways, the process of creating this collection reflected its own message: not everything unfolds according to plan, but when we trust the rhythm and continue moving forward, everything comes together in its own time.

Heritage Impression Series

Pewter Earrings • Pressed with History • Finished by Hand

The Heritage Impression Series was created as a way to honor the history of jewelry making while offering a more accessible, everyday option to wear handcrafted jewelry.

This collection focuses on earrings made from pewter and created using historic impression dies, blending traditional tools with modern techniques. Each pair is thoughtfully made in my studio and finished by hand, carrying both craftsmanship and story.

How its Made

The Inspiration

Behind the Series

Over the past five years, I’ve been slowly collecting professional impression dies with this exact project in mind. My original goal was to build a collection of over 100 dies before using them, but with the recent increase in sterling silver costs, I realized this was the perfect time to bring this series to life.

I began investing in these tools because preserving the history of jewelry making truly matters to me. This collection allows those historic designs to stay out in the world — worn, appreciated, and part of everyday life.

Why Pewter?
 

Pewter has a long history in decorative metalwork and allows me to offer this collection at a more approachable price point while still maintaining intention and craftsmanship.  This was my first time working with pewter, and everything in this series was learned through research, hands-on experimentation, and trial and error. Pewter behaves very differently from sterling silver — it melts at a much lower temperature, does not work harden, and allows for beautifully crisp impressions when pressed.  All pewter work is done at a separate, dedicated workbench to prevent contamination with sterling silver.

A Different Chapter of My Work
 

While much of my sterling silver jewelry is built entirely from the ground up, from melting ingots to making my own chain and clasps, this collection represents a different chapter in my making journey.  The Heritage Impression Series is about honoring tools, history, and process, and sharing that story through wearable art.

I love knowing that each piece carries a small part of jewelry history with it.

Old Tools, New Life

 

Thank you for being here and supporting small-batch, handmade jewelry.
This collection exists because of curiosity, learning, and a deep respect for the craft.
