ABOUT THE WORK
Each piece of original work is constructed by hand - utilizing fabrication, forging and fusing techniques. I work with raw materials including Argentium Sterling Silver*, 14k gold and rose gold, and copper. My work is also accented with pearls, gemstones and Dichroic Glass cabochons which I fuse in my studio.
*Argentium Sterling Silver is a modern sterling silver alloy. It differs from the traditional sterling silver alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with a rare metallic element called germanium. Germanium is highly resistant to tarnishing giving the silver a brighter and longer lasting finish.
