Accessories – Portland
I have a love affair with creating all things bright, vivid, + beautiful! I design artisanal + couture jewelry, with a passion for the richness of detail, craftsmanship + color that historical pieces have but adding the edginess and flair that a hip + gracious modern lifestyle demands.
I believe in the importance of looking + feeling ravishing, graceful, + radiant, + always styling yourself + your surroundings to be absolutely exceptional. If you aren\'t complimented at least once a day by someone you don\'t know on your wardrobe ensemble or perhaps a friend visiting your home, it is time to change things up! It isn\'t about the latest trends...it is about classic elements combined with a few truly outstanding pieces. Classic versus trendy will win out every single time. I believe in hand-making luxe, gorgeous jewelry ensembles utilizing the finest quality components (because I know how frustrating it is when you can\'t find a bracelet to match the necklace!). While I also design decorative items for the home, it is my jewelry in particular that has been evolving over the last year + a half. Originally using a lot of imagery (probably a reflection of my love of photography), my couture jewelry lines changed to reflect much more of an serious exploration of fashion and history. Every piece I design expresses a personal sense of charm, rhythm, wit, savoir-faire, mixed in with the aesthetic of a modern woman\'s sass.
