Accessories for the 21st Century

I design and create accessories with a vintage twist; I’m highly influenced by vintage – and, in particular, mid-century – glamour and try to impart that influence with everything I make. I love beads and gemstones and I love to bring life to them with my designs; I try to impart movement and create tiny vignettes with each piece I design.

I’ve always loved mid-century modern design, and have, over the years become more and more drawn toward the design concept of Organic Mod – the combination of ultra-modern, slick design and warm, soft, organic elements.

My fine silver designs, which I call the Mod Pod line, embody this Organic Mod concept – fine silver, a slick, hard material, is manipulated into an organic and intentionally haphazard shape, and embellished with gemstones or glass beads. It’s modernism with a softened touch.

The Starlight line is also vintage-inspired – with more of a 20’s-50’s era glamor influence. I love sparkles, tiny details, dangles, loops, and beads, beads, beads. Elegant and eye-catching.
