Inspiration is important to me. I had the photograph in my mind even before I knew what jewelry I would create to explain my vision. This era of style, boldness and sophistication has always fascinated me.

I collected vintage jewelry for many years only to give it away to a group of memory impaired seniors who needed the memories more than I needed the jewelry. Since then, I began to create my own modern version of vintage jewelry.

My model is my beautiful niece, Hannah Jane, who personifies the woman of an era gone by. She exudes the emotion and beauty of the 1920’s. I don’t know what I love more…her photograph or the jewelry! I also styled her hair, makeup and took the photo.
