I grew up in a jewelry store, three of them actually. I was trained and apprenticed to be a fine jewelry designer from a very early age. I even have a jeweler's torch scar on my back from when I pulled the oxygen house of the torch out of my father's hand at the age of 3 (cue Harry Potter music).

I spent much of my adult life trying to do anything but what I was trained to do but once I had my own children legacy mattered. When I got bac into jewelry design, I noticed how boring jewelry had become. I blame this mostly on the CAD/3D printing trend where everything is made to mass produce and appeal to the lowest common denominator. I promised myself when I got back into jewelry that I would only create and sell pieces that are unique with their own expression. It is an art after all and that's what art is meant to do.

For six years we lived full-time in a school bus we converted into a tiny home and traveled the east coast as jewelry vendors. Recently we purchased a house and another studio in Florida to allow us to expand our collection. Before that we lived on a sailboat in Florida and before that we were high school sweethearts. We still live in the bus in the summer as we travel north to follow the fishing tournament/boat show circuit. Our children Abraham, Axel, and Arabella are homeschooled and keep us very busy but make all of work in jewelry we do very worth it.
