I've been captivated by charms and trinkets ever since I received my first charm bracelet as a Christmas gift at age six. Beadwork is one of the many crafts I pursued as a child.

I started my jewelry making career at the Philadelphia College of Art, where I studied jewelry design and metalworking techniques.

The jewelry you see here is a combination of my acquired skills and my love of beads, baubles and Victoriana. Many of my designs are nature inspired. I hope you like my jewelry creations as much as I enjoy making them.

My studio is located in the heart of the pine barrens in southern New Jersey, where I live with my son Erik, who is the talented webmaster of Charming Trinkets.
