(the only green I truly love--the first green of Spring).…

Hand Fabricated Organic Inspired Jewelry My love of metalsmithing began in 2006 when I first forged a piece of sterling wire with a hammer. I was obsessed with learning as much as I could about making jewelry from that point. I read every book I could get my hand on.

Some of his tools have passed down to me, and from as far back as I can remember I have been drawn to unusual rocks and gemstones.…
