Welcome to my online shop! To be notified the moment new work becomes available, please subscribe to my newsletter. Thanks for looking!
My goal in 2019 is to have my shop always full of jewelry…fingers crossed! I will do my best to cycle new work in and out of the shop. As for pottery, I will announce in my newsletter when new work is posted…usually two/three times a year. I’m hoping to work my way up to having pots available year round also. Perhaps a goal for 2020…
Currently in the shop: NEW EARRINGS! I’ve been having a lot of fun making this new series of work. Inspired by Maasai and Turkana beadwork, artists Calder and Miro, and post WWII design. All earrings and findings are handmade using colored porcelain, kanthal wire, niobium and sterling silver. If you are in the Morgantown, WV area and would like to save on shipping and pick up your order at my studio, please use coupon code PICKUP in checkout.

What is Niobium?
Niobium is a chemical element (symbol Nb). It is a soft, grey metal that is naturally found in the minerals pyrochlore and columbite. Niobium is naturally hypoallergenic and commonly used in a number of medical devices including prosthetics and implants, such as pacemakers. Often used in jewelry making because of its hypoallergenic properties, this metal is a safe choice for anyone with metal allergies.
