I love a good jewelry story. Being in this business for as long as I have (30 yrs and counting!) I’ve had the pleasure of learning about the sentiment behind the baubles. Whenever I first meet with a client, the appointment usually begins with a chat about the jewelry they own, who gave it to them, and what it means to them. Adornment is SO very personal, and never without emotion. Sometimes laughter, sometimes tears. When a client shows me the simple gold band her late husband gave her when they were young, she recounts their life together. Her fingers trace the smooth gold - it’s tactile, it’s portable, it’s a living piece of history. Someday perhaps her daughter may wear it, and even her daughter’s daughter, and on and on…

Creating a new piece of jewelry is so much more rewarding when I understand the sentiment behind it. Helping people tell their stories through jewelry is at the heart of what I do and that’s what makes it SO very rewarding.

Here are just a few of the many jewelry stories I’ve been lucky to be a part of. Some love stories require no explanation, a picture’s worth a thousand words!
