Beach glass is created as waves wash over glass, rounding edges and imparting a frosted texture. The process takes years; some pieces are over a hundred years old. I picked this piece up myself on the shores of Lake Erie and embellished it with wirework reminiscent of modernist sculpture. Gold, sapphire and genuine pearls finish the look. $65 |

The focal point of this design is an Akoya pearl with a keishi tail. Akoya pearls are cultured in Japan and China by inserting a bead into an oyster. To reduce irritation, the oyster secretes a substance called nacre, which it layers over the bead. The longer this process is allowed to continue, the larger the pearl will be. Keishi are solid nacre that occur as an accident of nature. They can form alone or attached to pearls and are highly prized for their unique shapes and superior luster. $95 |

This would go so perfectly with one of Anna Sui's dresses that I named the necklace after her. Made entirely of recycled vintage material, it includes a piece of antique crystal from an old chandelier, circa 1920's, as well as an artist made "stone" from the 70's. $75 |

My designs for Linkage grew
from a desire to combine my passion for sculpture and painting
with a lifelong love of fashion. As an artist, I draw inspiration
from many things, which is reflected
in the diversity of the materials I choose to work with.
Often I use techniques such as sailors’
knots, that are not typically used in jewelry making. Many
of my pieces are created with a specific dress or outfit in mind
and I am frequently inspired by clothing
of the past and present. My goal is to always present something
that has not been seen before. When customers purchase my designs,
they feel the jewelry is as individual
as they are. It is very satisfying to know my work can help people
express themselves.
