I have been making jewelry for nearly 20 years. In 1991 I began working with fimo & developed an original style of clay work making glow in the dark fimo necklaces woven on hemp. Many of these were steal-your-faces & other 3 dimensional nature scenes (anything that one could imagine) wrapped around crystals, one-of-a-kind. Grateful Dead shows were my main outlet in those days. When Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995 I made my final piece & laid that style to rest for 9 years. Fimo work is available through custom order.
In 1992 I met a deadhead selling Herkimer Diamonds at a show. He mined them all himself. Amazed at these brilliant clear double-terminated quartz crystals, I had to find out what they were & where they came from. He shared with me their story and wrote down where he dug them. Fast forward 5 years and into the Ace of Diamonds mine in Middleville NY on my first trip to a Herkimer mine, the one I was told about, and my friend happened to be there digging at the time. I was able to see and experience first hand the painstaking labor that it took to extract these most beautiful crystals. From then on my friend & his close network of people have been my main source for Herkimer Diamonds. Many of my other stones come through him & he has direct ties w/ many miners from around the world. My stones pass through very few hands to myself, if not directly from those who dig them. I try to buy direct as much as possible which enables me to get the best quality and the best prices.
I have been making wire-wrapped jewelry for over 12 years now as it appeals to a wider variety of people. Taught by my same friend that I get my crystals from. He developed an original style of wrap that I've only seen used by my friend or those who he's taught. This style of wrap highlights the gems and minerals by using only enough silver to hold the them firmly in place. These pieces are durable enough for everyday wear yet elegant enough for formal occasions.
