Through the years, I've had the honor and pleasure of designing many a bridal jewelry ensemble. I truly enjoy custom work. The look on a client's face when she sees the finished piece is priceless. There's no way to describe being a part of a woman's happiness on the day she's looked forward to and anticipated for much of her life - the day when she'll be queen, if only for that day. Thinking back on my own bridal jewelry reminds me of the old adage "the cobbler's children have no shoes". It refers to the fact that a cobbler is so busy making shoes for other people that she has no time to focus on the footwear needs of her own children! This was me in 1998. But not now. I've learned in my thirty-something years to live in the moment. Don't get me wrong - I'm still working on it. Everyday. The difference now is that I'm able to step back and enjoy the process of life. My life. And although I welcome the occasional commissioned piece, I'll continue to build the foundation and focus of this business on being a part of a woman's happiness not only for a day, but everyday.
We stand among friends, my groom and me.

I couldn't have found a more perfect set for my wedding day! And seeing as it was designed while I was in between wedding dresses, I couldn't believe HOW PERFECT it matched!
