I have really been creating jewelry since I was about 7. I always love to accessorize with jewelry.
While I did not follow my passion as a career, I did have a renewed interest in it several years ago. I began taking classes as a stress reliever from my "real" job. There is not a class I can pass up - I am always looking to learn new skills.
Since I am a product of the 80's, I LOVE gold and the mixed metal look. It is because of this that I love working with mokume gane and keum boo.
I also do not think that jewelry should take a one size fits all approach and that is why I have so much diversity in my collections.
