Wax, Gold, and Grit: Crafting Jewelry Built for a Lifetime

The Foundation: Hand-carving the wax model
to perfectly cradle a rough diamond.

• The Artist's Vision: I begin every design by hand-carving the wax to cradle the specific textures of nature.

• A Unique Perspective: My dyslexia is a gift that allows me to "see" these three-dimensional shapes before the carving even starts.

• The Specialized Foundation: In this wax stage, I’ve already secured the rough diamond for my signature "cast-in-place" technique.

The Transformation: A side-by-side view showing
my hand-carved wax model transitioning into solid 14k gold.

• The Magic of the "Split": This side-by-side view shows the direct transition from my hand-carved model to solid 14k gold.
• Built for Life: Notice how the leaves and twigs replace traditional prongs—this is the heart of my "How It's Not Made" philosophy.
• Durability First: By eliminating thin prongs, I ensure your jewelry is as strong as it is beautiful.

The Masterpiece: The finished 14k gold design,
showcasing the strength of the cast-in-place rough diamond and my
signature nature-inspired textures.

• The Finished Masterpiece: After my carving is complete, my partner Jacob helps with the expert casting and finishing.
• One-of-a-Kind Art: Because I focus on individual designs rather than collections, this piece is truly unique.
• Shop the Look: You can find my latest nature-inspired creations on my Shopify store.
