I started out my career at the age of 15 with a jewelry and design course at my high school. They offered a beginning and advanced course, it was then that I fell in love with working with jewelry so I received special permission from the teacher and the principal to continue on for a total of five semesters.
At the age of 19 I took my portfolio to a very prestigious high end jewelry designer in Ann Arbor, Michigan and he hired me on the spot. It was there that I learned a great deal of the skills I have today.
In 1997 I obtained my Graduate Gemologist degree in New York City. After that I had the opportunity to work with a very talented jewelry designer in Northeast Harbor Maine.
I ended up in Chicago, Illinois heading up production for one of the largest wholesale manufacturers that supplies hand made custom jewelry to stores all across the United States.
I now create my own unique style of custom jewelry along with offering industry standards as shown here in my web site. Please feel free to contact me for all of your jewelry needs.
