Since primitive times people have fashioned objects of beauty to decorate themselves. Even the earliest of peoples adorned their bodies and loved their necks. Jewelry has been made out of many kinds of materials, such as gold, silver, precious stones, seeds, glass, bone, horn, clay, and even teeth. From its most basic form, jewelry may have been simply a form of decoration, but it grew to represent many things about the wearer, like personality, interests, and even way of life. Jewelry is still an important and satisfying way of expressing oneself even today in this age of telecommunications and mass media.

   As an artist, I try to use as many different and interesting materials as possible. Some materials are gathered from nature, and adapted to meet the standards our modern society has come to expect. I also create some of my own materials when they are otherwise unavailable for a particular vision.

   All of the items here are one of a kind and you will never find the same one anywhere else, nor will it ever be duplicated. In this way you can be assured that your piece is truly as unique and rare as you are. So when you travel through my site to choose your own jewelry try to think of what is meaningful to you... and your neck.
