A bit about my jewelry . . .

Each of my creations is carefully and lovingly hand-crafted in my home studio (under the name Natural Inspiration) and takes approximately three days to complete from beginning to end, not including design time. The medium I work with is a unique material called “silver clay”, also known as precious metal clay (PMC).

Silver clay is a natural substance of silver, organic compound, and water. You can mold, carve, texture, and form it into your own design. Once it is dry, layers and details are added, it is carefully filed and hand-sanded, and then kiln-fired. When the organic materials burn off, you discover a 99.9% fine silver creation (96% for my cuff bracelets). Most of my designs are also given a patina to create a light antique finish that shows off the texture and design. After a final polishing, the creation has become earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet. The result is a one-of-a-kind, unique fine silver piece of jewelry, different than any other, with an artisan feel and organic charm.

I live in the buying Ely, Minnesota northwoods where natural beauty flourishes. My inspiration is the woods that surrounds me and the ability to bring that beauty indoors to a permanent creation of fine jewelry. Most of my jewelry displays a tiny carved dragonfly on the back which is my signature, symbolizing change, transformation, and insight.

I hope you enjoy my jewelry as much as I loved creating it.
