All my life I’ve been a maker, creator, and explorer, in my own quiet way. This life of creating lead me to the Silvermine School of Art, which is where I fell in love with and studied the art of metalsmithing.
No mass production here; only one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry made by my two hands in my Fairfield studio. Each piece is mindfully fabricated with intention, heart, and the utmost attention to detail. Rhubarb Jewelry is wearable every day and complements your own beauty and sense of style.
The production of jewelry often involves harsh chemicals which are harmful to the maker and to the planet. In 2020, guided by the ECO Jewelry Handbook, written by Christine Dhein, I converted my studio into an eco-conscious environment. Natural products replace toxic chemicals, metals come from recycled or reclaimed sources, and stones are ethically-sourced or lab-created.
In my designs you’ll find modern, clean lines as well as freeform, organic shapes and patterns. I love both and seek to create designs combining these aesthetics. In addition to being easy to wear, favorite accessories, I hope my jewelry can serve as a reminder to the wearer to pause, connect, and appreciate earth and its inhabitants. My eco-friendly jewelry making processes might mean that things take a bit more time, but that’s fine by me as I consider the act of creating part of my daily mediation.
