Turquoise puka shell, amzonite

Not relying on carat weight or diamond count to make a statement; this hand-crafted jewelry, draws from nature’s subtle nuances and energy of the raw stones. “floating gems” and crochet necklaces, hand-tied bracelets and iridescent earrings, favored by the likes of Kelly Rowland and Erin Heatherton, embrace the crude imperfections of gems, shells and minerals in a stark, modern manner. These humble adornments readily assume any personal meaning through harmonious layers and combinations of stones, as well as astute incorporation of artifacts and talismans; collected and paired all over the world, they also quench a city dweller’s wanderlust and thirst for connection with Earth and with themselves.
