Sculptural & Found Glass Jewelry
Custom Designs for Ideas and Inspiration (Not currently for sale)
These rings represent a bit of my custom commission work and experiments in precious metal clay. Each one is a mini milestone in technique, creativity, and expression. Sculpted by hand, fired into solid fine (.999) silver, they’re part of my foundational story as a designer—and deeply loved.
Square Weave and Digital Relic
Square Weave is a bold, sculptural ring was created entirely from scraps—thin strips and leftover pieces of precious metal clay rolled out and saved during the creation of other designs. Woven together into a layered grid, this piece celebrates nothing wasted, everything transformed. I’ve long considered casting this one. And maybe someday I will.
Digital Relic is a contemporary design with ancient energy. I envisioned this as a modern-day artifact—what a digital screen might’ve looked like if discovered among ruins. Clean, quiet, and protective, the setting holds a stunning 4-carat lab-grown diamond simulant—unapologetically bold, yet refined.
Gold Overlay Rings
These are great examples of how adding a little gold creates a rich, interesting, dimensional look to any custom piece.
Found Glass Jewelry
This trio of rings hold a special place in my heart—and in my Tucson story. The glass set into each piece was collected from atop Sentinel Peak, a sacred landscape that has anchored human life here for over 4,000 years, making this valley the longest continuously inhabited area west of the Mississippi. I love creating custom found glass rings, be it from your tumbled beach glass, urban finds, grandma's china shards, or other bits and pieces found in nature.
The Havisham Ring
This is my silver love letter to Great Expectations, a ring designed to look like a fantastical wedding cake—twisted, ornate, and beautifully unhinged. The central stone is a brilliant, large (5–7 carat) lab-grown diamond-like stone, towering over a circle of ten smaller stones. The prongs holding the solitaire are swirled scaffolding surrounded by twirls of extruded precious metal clay applied through a syringe a la the icing on the cake. Every turn and twirl of the design reflects Havisham’s world: precarious, impossible, off-kilter and unforgettable.
Lady of the Tucson Mountains
I love how this rolling ridgeline tells a story—of valleys and craggy outcrops, saguaro-studded slopes, and desert creatures from mule deer to gila monsters, coyotes, javelina, lizards, snakes, and even mountain lions. But it’s the woman’s profile in repose—visible if you look west down Speedway or Grant—that truly captured my heart. I had never seen a mountain range ring before—so I made one.
Forever Pink Ribbons
I’ll never forget the first time I encountered a Susan G. Komen Foundation’s pink ribbon. As a longtime cause marketer, I immediately recognized it as a stroke of genius—they had struck pink gold. It was so much more than a symbol. It was an invitation: to raise awareness, create connection, build community, and inspire action.
At the time, I dreamed up ideas to help support the cause—like an all-pink pack of Lifesavers - a sweet, literal take on saving lives. I wrote to both Lifesavers and Komen with fundraising concepts involving limited-edition packs and product collaborations designed to benefit breast cancer awareness. While that didn’t launch, something else did: my Forever Pink Ribbon series.
