Designed to be worn with style and confidence, my work utilizes handmade components made of fine metals, rare ethnic beads, semi-precious stones, and unusual pendants.

Flexibility and versatility are important design concerns – the pieces can often be worn in more than one configuration.

  • Unique Silk Scarf

    As one of my exclusive designs, this scarf is uniquely patterned and colored. Comprising vintage silk from Japanese kimono and Thai handwoven ikat skirts, it has a lovely drape and feel. Each side has a different pattern, with the same silks and colors mixed for a harmonious overall design. Vintage glass and stone beads, plus green iridescent beetle wings, and brass spirals decorate and give weight to each corner. Only one is available- make it yours!
