Colorful Handmade Glass Jewelry I began as far from glass as anyone could. I studied Journalism and French and supposed I would become an foreign correspondent. Entering the working world at age 24, commuting to my job in the city from Brooklyn, it became a grind and I felt ground down to a stub. In order to change things up a bit, I began taking classes at a public glass studio close to my apartment called Urban Glass-it's still there.…

Handmade Silver, Resin & Etched Jewelry I like classic lines but I am drawn towards statement jewelry, so many of my pieces are classic with the twist of being slightly larger than life. I also like to hide details that are only known by the wearer; such as etchings on the back of a ring. I believe it makes my jewelry feel a little more personal.…
