About the jewelry and stones:
Do you make all of the Jewelry?
Yes, I hand make all of the jewelry myself using fabrication techniques including granulation, fusing and chain making. I will be adding more demos of these processes later this year.
Which jewelry is currently for sale?
Everything in the Jewelry shop is available for sale. Click on each section (rings, earrings, etc) to bring up the full list. Under "details" you will find a larger photo and a detailed description of the piece.
Where do you get your stones?
I cut many of the stones myself and I buy unusual cut stones from other lapidaries. I attend as many gem and rock shows as I can and am always on the lookout for new and unusual rough. For a demo of how I cut my stones please visit "The Basic Cabochon" Demo
Where else can I purchase your work?
On the news and events page you will find upcoming shows and a list of galleries that my work.
Do you have a print catalog?
No, because so much of the work I do is one of a kind and custom designs, the website is the best way to keep up with what's currently available.

Who made your website?
My website was designed by me and my partner.

Perl, html, UNix. I do some color balencing and cropping on Photoshop.

I update the site as I make new work, usually every month or two or when I have a special event like an Open Studio. I send an email to my mailing list when I make updates. You can join by going to my Mailing List page.
About the photographs:
What type of cameras do you use?
I use a Sony digital now. Many of the jewelry shots were taken with a 35mm manual camera with slide film and then scanned.

For a full over view of how I photograph my work visit my "Basic Jewelry Photography" Demo

Sorry, I had to give it up to spend more time on the jewelry making and stone cutting.
