For the past decade my work as a jeweler has been centered around incorporating “common” beach stones with precious and non-precious metals and gemstones to create uncommon and expressive contemporary jewelry.

I tumble beach stones to a soft polish and then hand carve them using diamond burrs and a flexible shaft motor tool. I hand fabricate all my pieces, forging, shaping, and texturizing the metal before soldering and riveting a piece together, constantly seeking unusual and viable solutions to the design and construction problems that arise as I let my work evolve.
