One of a kind exotic wood and metal jewelry

When I look at a piece of wood I can appreciate the art in nature. The grain patterns, color and texture have all become part of my palette.

The goal of my jewelry making is to use these sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic, elements in the design of the piece. My night sky series uses both the light sapwood and black heartwood of African blackwood to it’s full potential. With careful sawing a landscape effect can be produced that can be turned into a night sky by inlaying some small brass stars and a moon.

The result is truly a one of a kind piece of jewelry that can never be repeated.
