Solder & Fuse

I make one-of-a-kind nature inspired sterling silver jewelry.

I have been making jewelry for more than twenty-five years. 

I was known for a long time as ‘the button necklace lady,’ but my work is always evolving as I chase my muse.

For the last few years, I have taken a deep dive into sterling silver and casting.

The results are bespoke pieces that capture a natural element and bring it into sharp focus: a bug, a leaf, a cool stone. I love to mix media, and one will see pieces with mother-of-pearl buttons, copper, brass, gold, sea glass, semi-precious stones and found stones.
