Part of the mystery and beauty of handmade jewelry is just that.. it's handmade. Tools can be used, but when human hands hold an object, examining every angle for hours, days, or even weeks, magic happens. The creation becomes an extension of the maker. Emotions, challenges, discoveries, epiphanies, pride, all come into play. The same cannot be said for machine-made and -produced products.

I find the act of creating just as enjoyable as seeing the finished piece. With that in mind, I want to share more of the processes and behind the scenes with you.

The first show of the year for me is ACC Baltimore. It is a grandiose and prestigious show to exhibit in. I remember visiting it with my jewelry class in college thinking…wow… this is AMAZING!!! SO many artists coming together in one show, it’s a visual explosion and site to behold. I’m thrilled to be accepted and this year will be exhibiting in both wholesale and retail. This means for 2 days galleries and boutiques come to place orders and buy our work. The following 3 days the show becomes a bustling retail mecca and thousands of people pour in to peruse and purchase the handmade original art.
