Hello! I am a small business studio boutique owner in a sweet rural little town in Connecticut. I am a mostly self taught designer 24 years now and silversmith for over 10+ years now. I absolutely love creating and owning my own shop to do it. I work full time, 5-6 days a week mostly on commissioned pieces. I am obsessed with rustic emeralds, paraiba tourmaline, aquaprase and grandidierite stones!!! what can I say, I love the exotics!! South sea pearls are stunners to me as well! I am always amazed and humbled at the truly exceptional artists and creators out there!!
