After twenty-five years, running a successful business making luxury leather handbags and accessories lost it's challenge. Discovering the immense satisfaction of fabricating 22 karat gold into jewelry has provided a lifelong journey of learning and growth.
My mentor, the late Louise Parrish, is always with me as I make jewelry. She was a master goldsmith and I feel fortunate to have trained under her until her passing in 2008.
Earning a Gemological Institute of Gemology Graduate Gemologist certification (GIA GG) has broadened the depth of pleasure in seeking fine gemstones.
