About Us
All my jewelry is designed and handmade by me. I use only precious metals such as sterling silver and 14kgf , with the occasional use of solid 14k, to showcase a wide array of top gemstones in the most beautiful colors and contemporary cuts. The end result is a rainbow of color and sparkle, BUT on a tiny scale. I design with the goal to create pieces that are discrete but stylish, affordable and highly wearable.

I have the great luck of living and working in the most beautiful New England seaside village, an area rich in history, arts and natural beauty, surrounded by my family and two silly German Shepherds. Originally a painter, I used to spend months on huge commissioned murals...only to discover how amazingly rewarding the tiny work of jewelry design was. That was the point of no return and my paint brushes have since gathered quite a bit of dust!

I sketch my ideas all the time; I have hundreds of those! Yet, in the end, the gems themselves dictate the final solution. The most simple designs can be deceptive and I do spend quite a lot of time shuffling elements around, changing size, cut, color, placement. As a result, my work table is incredibly messy, joyfully chaotic, totally covered with gems, tools, wires, metal elements. Out of disorder, happy accidents occur and magic happens.

I'll add that I do not propose gems, whether modest or rarefied, that I would not wear myself. I let my eyes dictate my choices. I will gush over exceptional, flawless stones but I can also find beauty in more organic precious and semi-precious gemstones, some actually because of their inclusions!
Most important of all though, is that you should be very happy too with your new piece of jewelry. So be assured that I am only an email away.
