My mother has always been an artist.  Her artistic interests have been wide ranging throughout my life, but the fiber arts have always been a continuous theme through her explorations.  Unlike my mother, my exploration of the fiber arts never went much beyond basic techniques, but the pleasure and fascination of making something to adorn one's body, and to do so from beginning to end, has never faded.  I've translated that love of the process, and the end result, from fiber to precious metal.

Jewelry, like clothing, is an intimate expression of individuality.  Like fine fabrics, precious metal chain is an especially tactile form of adornment that conforms to the body and warms to the skin.  Chain becomes one with the wearer.  A beautiful chain worn alone, or layered with other jewelry pieces, has elegant and timeless appeal.

I personally fabricate and weave my chain jewelry from start to finish.  I use 5 to 75 feet of sterling silver or 18k gold wire to produce a chain that is 6 to 20 inches in length when complete.  Hand woven chain is a complex and labor-intensive form of jewelry, and also one of the most classic and enduring.
