The rings and larger earrings are made from abstract forms I create and cast in sand. Mostly bronze with sterling shanks, they range in size from 7-9 but can be sized a bit larger. Wide bands tend to fit a bit tighter than thin. Please contact me for sizing concerns. The hexagon earrings are cast from pencils in bronze and copper alloys and are roughly the diameter of a regulation wooden pencil, about 7mm. Pieces designated as shibuichi are made from an alloy of copper and fine silver. All earrings have sterling posts and backs.

Handmade organic shapes juxtapose with graphic flat-drawn oval links in these pieces that have a lightweight feel on the body but carry a visual weight that stands out. Like my rhetoric, it has a little of everything! haha. But seriously I'm proud of the balance in these pieces- great for everyday bling! The ball chain pieces have 18k gold vermeil hand shaped beads on them and are 16-18" in length. I can accommodate different chain lengths upon request for an additional charge. I also have a few more of these beads if you'd like to discuss a custom design.

Three stacking rings in 14k yellow and rose gold-filled and sterling silver. Each ring has a sterling silver cube that moves around the ring. A snug fit ensures that the cubes will stay relatively put but they are fidgetable! Limited sizes available now but can be custom ordered.

LIPPS=I found this stone that looked to me like a big sexy mouth going "muah!" so I picked it up and cast it in bronze. The stone broke during the process so this may be the only one- although I did glue it back together! You can see the crack where it broke in the casting. It's a special piece and it will take you down to Funkytown if you let it! Sterling silver chain with handmade hook and eyes can be worn at around 17 or 19 inches, or can be customized.
FLOATIE=One of the first sandcast designs I created and still one of my personal favorites, Floatie features some steel elements including the "lip ring" feature that is a holdover from my Two Lights series of necklaces using real rocks. Bronze and sterling silver with steel jump rings.
$245.00
Some special shapes call out for 18 karat gold. Vermeil is a thick durable coating of gold, in this case over bronze. While the finish can last for decades, it is not recommended to be worn in the shower, ocean, or pool. Can be cleaned with mild soap and a soft cloth. Chains are 18" sterling silver.

I have been casting organic abstract forms by creating layered space within the sand mold. Like building my own bark, I see these forms as protective elements, designed to shield the wearer while adding strength and support. I have also begun to incorporate handmade components into the chains for these pieces in order to celebrate the unique properties of each form and to emphasize the contrast between the organic flow of the natural world and the tech-driven uniformity of the life in which many of us find ourselves. Cast elements are either bronze or shibuichi, an alloy of copper and fine silver. Chains can be worn at around 17.5 to 19 inches or can be customized to suit the wearer. The first photo is of a previous design, included to show scale and length. Photos 2-5 are all of the same bronze piece, front and back views. Photos 6-11 are all same shibuichi piece, front and back views.
