BEHOLD! THE COMMUNICATIVE POWER OF JEWELRY

The communicative ability of jewelry continues to fascinate me! My vision for this sterling silver statement necklace has been unfolding over the past year, and I’m stunned to see it finally come to life. I certainly channeled my inner Cleopatra while designing it.

Initially, the “Atomic Rose” was a single hand-fabricated pendant. Lost wax casting has enabled me to create this striking collar of ‘roses’ to arm and empower the wearer with sculptural originality.

I hoped to create a piece that would embody the strength in femininity, the emotive power of self-expression, and celebrate the human form and our relentless propensity to adorn it. The Atomic Rose presents the most storied flower in history in a bold, geometric vein, and showcases my obsession with the Art Deco style. The necklace itself turned out as I had envisioned, but I had no idea how powerful it would become once worn. Against a canvas of bare skin or dark hair, this piece speaks volumes without making a sound.

✨ PEARLS THAT PACK A PUNCH ✨

BLACK DIAMOND-CUT CHAIN PLAYS WELL WITH WHITE CULTURED PEARLS

As we transition into fall, explore our latest collection, offering an edgy twist on this organic jewelry staple. Textured, sparkling chains entangle oversized baroques and black Tahitians, challenging our very notion of the classic and understated beauty that is...THE PEARL.

Pearls — an oldie but a goodie with a rich history in the jewelry world. We wouldn't dare reinvent the wheel, but we WOULD roll that wheel into the 21st century, adding metallic textures and jumbo chain links for a little new age edge.

(Think Sandy Olsson before AND after her Danny Zuko inspired transformation.)

We have tons of ideas to help reintroduce that long-lost strand you probably already have! Layer it with a gold chain or two, or add a chunky pendant to modernize the look. What's old can be new again, and as the adage goes, "pearls are always appropriate".
