Modern Whimsy Jewelry
Might this be you?
Some days, you're all business. Other days, you're running — in sixteen directions at once. But when the evening finally arrives — entirely different earrings. Entirely different energy.
So what do you reach for? The unexpected. The unusual. The whimsical. And quality, always.
Because you have an eye for beauty. Because you're drawn to brilliant color. Because your style is eclectic — and entirely your own.
And your jewelry?
It has to keep up. Earrings with attitude. A bracelet that sparks a conversation. A necklace that makes someone stop and ask — where did you get that?
This is me, and what I make
Here's where it all comes from.
There are jewelry makers who are inspired by art. And then there is this — something a little different.
The inspiration runs in both directions. Sometimes a painting comes first: a Matisse interior swirling with saturated blues, a Joan Mitchell triptych alive with color and gesture, a Mark Rothko canvas that is pure, radiant hue. And from that painting, the gemstones follow — kyanite, apatite, aquamarine, peridot — stones that seem to remember the painting.
Just as often, the gemstone comes first. A new discovery — a tourmalinated quartz with black brushwork running through it, a chrysocolla speckled with coppery cuprite — and suddenly a painting surfaces in memory. The stone and the art are in conversation. The jewelry comes from that.
But here's the thing — you don't need to know the paintings or the painters. You just need to know how the jewelry makes you feel.
