Sterling silver · Copper enamel · Hand-carved bezel wire · Silver solder · 2026
Inspired by the coronation brooches of British monarchs, The Quiet Crown reimagines royal regalia through a contemporary lens. The centerpiece — a domed copper enamel cabochon in deep emerald — is set within a hand-carved bezel wire worked into a tiara motif, evoking the crown effect of ceremonial jewelry while remaining entirely original. Every element was fabricated by hand in sterling silver, joined with silver solder. No molds, no casting — only metal, tools, and intention.

Copper · Sterling silver · Acid etching · Hand-hammered · 2026
The Blooming Hibiscus Cuff begins where drawing meets metalwork. A freeform copper cuff was shaped by hand, then etched using a resist technique — hibiscus vines drawn in white-out directly onto the copper surface, leaving the negative space to be chemically etched away, producing a raised, three-dimensional vine that appears to grow across the metal. At the center sits a fully fabricated sterling silver hibiscus bloom. Each petal was individually hand-sawed, domed over a mandrel, and textured with a decorative hammer to capture the organic irregularity of a real flower. The stamens — sterling silver wire with ends melted into tapered balls — were soldered one by one before the completed bloom was joined to the cuff. Every mark on this piece was made by hand.

Brass · Sterling silver · Metal beads · 2026
What appears to be an elegant serving fork conceals something unexpected — shake it, and it sounds like rain. Echoes of Bamboo in Silver is a functional art object inspired by the bamboo rain stick, reimagined in metal. The bamboo form was achieved by hand-forming individual loops of brass around a mandrel, each shaped by hand — a technically demanding process that produces the characteristic segmented silhouette. Sterling silver plates were soldered between each section to create tonal contrast, and a domed silver lid encloses a hollow interior filled with small metal beads. The sterling silver tines make the piece fully usable. It is at once sculpture, instrument, and utensil.

Red charmeuse · Black mikado · Black lace · Green rose lace trim · Gold grommets · 2026
La Rose en Soie is a fully constructed two-piece garment — a structured strapless corset bodice and a red charmeuse skirt — crafted entirely by hand over two months. The black mikado corset is boned and finished with a lace-up back closure threaded through hand-set gold grommets, architectural in its construction and precise in its fit. At the chest, an oversized rosette hand-gathered from red charmeuse blooms against the dark fabric, anchored by a trailing green rose lace vine. The skirt, cut from the same red charmeuse, falls cleanly from the hip with a black lace hem that echoes the drama of the bodice. Every seam, every grommet, every gather was made by hand.

Sterling silver · Anodized niobium · Brass · Silver wire · 2026
Nocturne in Navy is a brooch inspired by the Art Nouveau movement. The body of the piece is cut from niobium and anodized to a deep navy blue. The frame, wire details, and decorative elements are all sterling silver. Hand-formed wire lines run across the face of the brooch, referencing the lead divisions of a stained glass window. At the base sits a hand-fabricated silver flower. At the crown, a cluster of individually hand-formed silver grapes spills over the top of the arch, each one shaped separately by hand. The back plate is brass, riveted by hand, with a hand-formed pin stem. Every element was made entirely by hand.
