House of Metalworks

Some projects are about jewelry. Others are about preserving a memory. 🤍

This pendant began with sterling silver scrap, melted into an ingot, rolled into sheet, and embossed with a floral texture. After forming the cap and carefully fitting it to Willy’s tusk, every piece was soldered, refined, and polished by hand.

What started as raw silver and a treasured keepsake became something that can be carried every day.

It never gets old watching metal transform—and knowing that, in the end, it will hold a story that’s completely unique to one family.

Thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful piece. 🐷✨

Sometimes an email lands in your inbox that makes you stop everything.
This morning, I found one of those emails.
I read it once.
Then again.
Then one more time.
The Allentown Art Museum invited me to participate as one of the featured artists in this year’s Cocktails & Collecting.
I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet.
Come along with me as I get ready for my first museum fundraiser.

be still.

A tiny reminder to slow down, quiet the noise, and come back to yourself. Each letter is stamped by hand, one at a time, into sterling silver. Slightly imperfect, completely individual, and made to carry your own meaning.

This one says be still, but what would yours say?

Sound on for this one. 🔊✨

That little crunchy, clicky, rolling sound? So satisfying.

My Rolling Ring is made with individually formed bands that are permanently linked together, letting them tumble and roll over one another as you move them up and down your finger. A little jewelry, a little fidget, and a whole lot of just one more roll. 😌

Choose 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 interlocking bands in sterling silver, gold filled, rose gold filled—or mix your metals and make your own combination.

And a big thank you to my customer for capturing the ASMR magic in action. 🤍

This is why I love stacking rings. ✨

One tiny hand-forged band can be worn all by itself… or it can become the beginning of a stack that grows with you.

Mix your metals. Add different textures. Pair them with rings you already own. Wear three today and seven tomorrow. There really is no wrong way to build a stack.

And seeing how you wear the rings I make at my bench? That might be my favorite part. 🤍

How many rings are in your perfect stack?

How do you raise hell?

Around here, it starts with a strip of copper and a steel stamp. Every letter is struck by hand before the plaque is cut, soldered onto the band, oxidized, sanded, and polished into a finished ring.

No engraving machines. No shortcuts. Just metal, fire, and a hammer.

🔥 Made by hand in my Pennsylvania studio.

A tiny crystal with a whole lot of personality. 💎

My solitaire stacking ring is hand forged in your choice of sterling silver or gold-filled, then finished with the birthstone color that means the most to you. Wear one to celebrate yourself, or stack several to tell your story.

✨ Pick your crystal.
✨ Pick your metal.
✨ I’ll make it by hand.

Tiny reminders, made one at a time. 🤍

Today’s bench work: a pair of Gratitude charms in aluminum, destined for a friendship bracelet and a sliding charm necklace.

Each charm begins as raw metal before it’s sawed, stamped, shaped, sanded, and polished by hand. It’s a slow process but I think little words like gratitude deserve to be made that way.

Packing up this little equality ring today and thinking maybe Pride shouldn’t be limited to just one square on the calendar. 🌈✨

Tiny symbols can carry big meaning. Quiet reminders that people deserve to exist safely, loudly, softly, creatively, joyfully… exactly as they are.

So yes, it’s Pride Month.
But I vote we keep the energy year round.

There are moments when a room stops being just a room. It shifts—quietly—into something else. A place where time, labor, risk, and memory gather in physical form. That’s what the 2026 Soirée Collection is. This isn’t just an exhibition. It’s a convergence of 23 resident artists, each brin...
