One of my favorite shows, ARTWEAR at the de Young, is coming up in a couple weeks at San Francisco’s beautiful de Young Museum. I am honored to once again be there with a collection of new and signature work.

The show takes place on May 8 and May 9, an excellent time to find a unique and meaningful Mother's Day gift - or a treat for yourself, such as these pomegranate dangle earrings in oxidized silver with garnet, fire opal, pink sapphire and ruby.

The show will feature a selection of jewelry, accessories and textiles from a strong group of local artists.

Hello again - is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year? I guess even in the darkest crevices of my mind I am still hopeful that things will work out for the best, for all of us, in spite of the state of the world.

Here is one of my last custom orders of 2025, a pair of earrings that to me has a strong sculptural and human message. With its iconic character, the circular design reminds me of the wheels on the Danish Sun Chariot from about 1400 BC, an ancient symbol that speaks of time, the sun and celestial motion - life, energy, and warmth.

Initially inspired in my Solar Eclipse brooch, the design of these earrings was proposed by a long time client of mine as a pair of sculptural, timeless, understated clip on earrings. There is something delightfully life-affirming about composing shapes with rays in silver and 18 karat gold. Happy New Year.

Grateful for early Holiday shoppers, including this lovely client, whose purple-pink pomegranate silver earrings are en route, neatly gift wrapped, as we speak.
