INSPIRATION



I’ll never forget the first precious gemstone I ever received.  My birthday fell on Easter the year I turned 7.  My mother gifted me with an Easter basket full of chocolates, candies, and one special gift; a delicate peekaboo sugar egg with little sugar flowers inside.  Hidden inside that egg was a teeny, tiny, real, ruby ring.  That ring made me feel so special.

Jewelry is a language.  We use it to commemorate the moments we want to remember forever.  

A quick glance at my simple golden wedding band can take me back to one of the best days of my life.  A necklace from my Grandmother Lam reminds me of jewelry shopping with her on the streets of Hong Kong.  Wearing a white gold ring from my Granny (yeah, I’m from Texas y’all) empowers me with her determination and zest for life. 

A beautiful pair of emerald green earrings from my well-adorned Auntie reminds me that there’s aways room for one more piece of jewelry in your life.  And the diamond earrings from my step-mom reminds me of her impeccable style.  And that yes, you can wear diamonds with jeans…yes you can.



INFLUENCE


My expression of color and shape is often influenced by nature.  A leaf blowing by at the park becomes a delicate necklace.  That perfect, tiny branch found on my deck begs to be a ring and old childhood toys are transformed into modern day medallions. 

Showcasing the natural beauty here on Earth, I love creating wearable displays for nature’s jewels: precious metals, gemstones, and minerals alike.
