Jewelry has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember.

I began studying, making, and teaching jewelry in my teens. That path eventually took me from learning the gem-buying trade in San Francisco to teaching women in Manhattan, and ultimately back to my hometown of Rochester, New York, where I run my studio today.

Years spent working closely with materials, color, and women changed how I see things.

Certain tones and metals made a woman appear more vivid, more present. Others receded. The difference could be subtle, but unmistakable once you knew how to recognize it.

That curiosity became the foundation of my color analysis work.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of color, jewelry, and personal expression. I help women understand what naturally harmonizes with them, so their choices feel instinctive and true to who they are.

Jewelry remains an essential part of this process. Each piece is designed with palette, proportion, and presence in mind, so it integrates naturally into a woman’s life rather than sitting apart from it.

Time at the bench still guides everything. The same instinct that has always shaped my jewelry now informs how I help women see themselves more clearly.

Both are expressions of the same practice.
