It started with a dog named Gonzo...

After he died, I made a reliquary — a small container filled with fuzz from his favorite tennis ball, his hair tied in silk thread, and soil from his burial site.  The process of making it gave me a connection to my memories of him.

Wearing it gave me something to hold. That's when I understood what jewelry can really do.

It is so much more than simple adornment.  

It's memory, made tangible. It's love you can touch on the hardest days.

I create jewelry to hold what you're afraid to forget.
