My pieces all start from wire of various sizes, most of which is 100% pure copper. My work focus on the intricate wire designs I weave into each unique piece. In some of my pieces you will find thoughtfully selected stones & beads that enhance the piece’s aesthetics and metaphysical qualities.
Some of the stones I use are intricately carved adding a unique, artisanal touch to my jewelry. These carved stones are selected not only for their beauty but also for their symbolism and the intention they bring to each piece.
Each element is chosen carefully to ensure that every piece is visually stunning and carries a special meaning and purpose. My goal is to create jewelry that resonates with the wearer, both aesthetically and spiritually.

I assess custom commissions on a case-by-case basis.
I require complete artistic license on the design of the piece, which will evolve as I work on it (ie. no sketch of the piece before I start).

I seal all of my copper pieces with a commercial museum grade sealant to keep the copper from tarnishing and interacting with your skin.
It’s true. Wearing bare copper tight to the skin can turn your skin a green to blue colour. However, the probability of that happening is based on a number of factors. (Check on my blog post called ‘Green Fingers’ for more information on these factors).
If you are concerned about for skin discolouring, here are a few things you can do so that you can still enjoy your beautiful copper jewelry:
For jewelry tight to your skin (like rings and cuffs), apply a coat or two of clear nail polish to the underside of the piece (ie the portion in direct contact with your skin)
Keep bath products, especially those with fragrances away from your copper
Clean your jewelry regularly with warm soapy water & a soft toothbrush. Dry with a soft cloth
Choose a pendant (like a pendant) which allow more air to flow around the piece
Choose a pair of earrings. All of our earrings have hypoallergenic earwires made of niobium. The copper won't even touch your skin

The best way to care for your copper jewelry is to wash it with soapy water and a soft toothbrush after each wear. Make sure to dry the piece thoroughly with a soft cloth whenever it gets wet.
