"My designs usually evolve around some visually interesting stones which I have carefully chosen for a particular piece of jewelry. The stones may stand alone in a design or they may complement each other.

My choices in stones are mostly the colorful minerals such as lapis lazuli, sugilite, chrisocola, and others that are cut by lapidaries into various one-of-a-kind shapes. I may add a semiprecious or precious cabochon or faceted stone to the work if I think that it enhances the design. My jewelry pieces are, therefore, mostly unique.

Before I execute a design in  metal, it may have gone through a number of changes on paper. I sketch the shapes and proportions, decide on details such as a high polish or brushed and antiqued finish, or whether or not I have to add surface texture to emphasize certain lines and forms. All of these elements have to be combined to come together into the final, exciting design."
