Jewelry is the ultimate decorative art, and as an object, it is such a wonderful epitome for storytelling. I am often inspired by the mysterious aspects of jewelry, and always interested in uncovering hidden treasures. I pride myself in my ability to continually delight and surprise you. There is nothing I enjoy more than discussing the historical significance of art pieces that will stand the test of time. Pieces celebrate a diversity of inspirations and savoir-faire.
Whatever the origin and the intention, for centuries upon centuries jewels has been a powerful gift, repositories of memories and sentiments, forms of self-expression as well as assets. I believe that collecting is both an emotional and intellectual pursuit while creating an array of captivating ensembles along the way. My clients are passionate about many things, they are informed and appreciate beauty and design. They also hope to leave a legacy larger than their cherished collection to the next generation.
