I think often about how ancient and innate our urge to carry meaning in the form of objects is.

Archaeologists believe the oldest jewelry dates back to about 150,000 years ago: shells beaded into a necklace found in Morocco.

Jewelry is metaphor, expression, symbol; it's a feeling alchemized into something that can be held in the palm of your hand.

This transmutation is most evident in custom pieces. I'd be honored to embark on this process with you.
