Handmade silver ring with a red patterned cabochon stone on weathered wood

I've always loved rocks. Seriously, even the “boring” ones.

I started wire wrapping crystals to make necklaces years ago and decided I wanted to up my game in 2022. I began taking metalsmithing and lapidary classes at Boulder Metalsmithing Association (BoMA) and quickly fell in love with playing with metal, fire, and pretty rocks.

I was lucky enough to serve on the BoMA board for a couple of years and became the executive director in 2025.

Putting my work out into the world has been such a beautiful experience, and I hope to continue doing that and share the joy of metalsmithing with others.

In the studio

Each piece is shaped by hand, by me.

Bezels, textures, and sometimes even the stone itself. From recycling sterling to cabochons cut and set with care, the work reflects the mountains, the bench, and the stories the stones carry.
