When creating my designs, I rescue, recycle and re-purpose vintage items, making them beautiful once again. Saving one tiny piece of the past at a time. . Nothing pleases me more than spending my weekends on the road, scouring antique shops and estate sales in search of that one perfect, long since forgotten item that I can breathe life back in to again.
I enjoy creating things that you can't find anywhere else. I use vintage and antique goods to create my designs because I simply adore so many items from the past that I hated seeing them forgotten. In my opinion, many items from the past were of a quality you just don't find anymore.
I love when someone asks what inspired me to make a specific piece. Making a piece of jewelry that tells a story is more satisfying to me than almost anything.
