In addition to gem stones, I use found objects from the beach - beach stones or sea glass. Soldering is my main mechanism. My overall aesthetic is very clean and focused around the stones that I use - I do not use a lot of extra embellishments, as I want the stone to be the focal point.
Gem stones, beach stones and sea glass are my inspiration, the act of repurposing them is very satisfying and grounding. I love borrowing something from nature and making it wearable. The actual act of finding these focal points is a significant source of inspiration to me.
I have found sea glass and beach stones from all over the world - Ireland, Barcelona, Delaware, etc...These are the resources I pull from for my creations. Literally something that has been tossed around in an ocean for days, months, years - washed up on a beach in time to be a wearable piece of art
