Spring Open Studio

Please join me at my studio in Berkeley. I am newly charged from my yearly gem stone buying trip to Tucson and I am developing new designs using different techniques. This is a wonderful time for a peek at the process, there is time to try on new jewelry designs.
For those of you who have gem stones that you've been holding on to for years, bring them to my studio and we'll come up with a wearable design specific to your liking.

My studio is always open by appointment and most Thursdays from 11a.m. to 5 p.m.
