Each ring I create begins with fire and metal, shaped by hand into pieces that carry their own character and history. Working primarily in sterling silver with 18ct gold accents, I forge rings that celebrate texture, weight, and the organic beauty of imperfection.

My approach is rooted in ancient metalworking traditions – heavy hammering, careful oxidation, and allowing the metal to show its journey. The surfaces I create are never smooth or uniform; instead, they’re richly textured, sometimes rough, always tactile. These are rings that feel substantial on the hand, pieces you’re aware of wearing.

I set cabochon gemstones – turquoise, moonstone, amethyst, garnet, lapis – in simple bezels that let the stones speak for themselves. The combination of oxidized silver with warm gold creates a contrast I find endlessly appealing, like finding something precious that’s weathered time.

Whether you’re looking for a statement ring that carries presence or wedding bands that tell a story of endurance and beauty, each piece is individually crafted. No two are exactly alike – they can’t be, given the nature of hand-forging. What you see here are examples of my work; if something speaks to you, I’m happy to create something similar or work with you on a commission.
