From the time I was a little girl, I’ve been in love with jewelry—not just how it looks, but what it means. When my grandmother would visit, I’d ask to clean her diamond rings. She’d let me, and I’d carefully transform them from a little bit dusty to dazzling and full of light. I was mesmerized—not just by the sparkle, but by the story: those rings were a lasting connection to her husband, who had passed away many years before.

Jewelry, at its best, isn’t just an accessory. It’s a memory. A moment. A legacy.

I earned my Bachelor of Music from the University of Arkansas in 1994, and then followed my heart into the jewelry world—graduating from GIA (Gemological Institute of America) in 1996 with certifications as a Graduate Gemologist and Graduate Jeweler. That same year, I began my career in the industry.

Like many, I once imagined launching a jewelry line and seeing my pieces sold around the world. But I quickly realized what truly lit me up wasn’t mass production—it was the personal. Working with people one-on-one. Learning their stories. Helping them reimagine what they already own—or create something brand new that reflects who they are.

So I built my business on meaning, not mass.

These days, I specialize in custom jewelry—particularly transforming family pieces into new heirlooms. A grandmother’s cocktail ring becomes a daughter’s pendant. A pair of unworn earrings becomes a future wedding band. It’s part design, part puzzle-solving, and part magic.

Here’s how it works:
We meet and talk—not just about jewelry, but about your lifestyle, your story, your favorite shapes, numbers, even architecture. Anything that reflects you. Then I take that inspiration and sketch by hand, pencil on vellum. We refine the design together, and once it's just right, we move to 3D CAD renderings and into final production.

It’s not fast jewelry. It’s thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply personal.

And I absolutely love it.

Just the other day, someone asked if I enjoy my job. I didn’t hesitate: “I love it.” Because I really do. I get to help people honor the past, celebrate the present, and create something beautiful for the future. That’s the kind of work that lasts.
