After the Burn

This is a spatial eye, the kind that sees from above. Calm, discerning, a little strange. At its center, amber burns like fire. Above it, a silver rainbow flickers with mischief. It looks like a flying saucer, or a head lost in the clouds.

The piece is marked by fire, burnt at the edges, transformed. But like a rainbow after a storm, something clear and luminous emerges. This eye sees what comes after difficulty: the truth only fire can reveal.

On the back, two plaques are stamped with AMOR FATI—the love of fate—the freedom to embrace what comes. A quirky little relic, and a reminder: when life spins fast, meet it with humor, clarity, and a wide, knowing eye.

Forged to See

A strand of eyes, guarded by lines of raised silver dots. Medieval, fire-forged, almost punk. Chunky but close to the skin. Like armor. Like pearls. It rests at the throat, where truth waits to be seen and spoken.

This year, my prayer has been simple: I am willing to see the world as it is. It has shaken me and freed me. What remains is this: inner truth is the real freedom.

Within the Fern

I shaped a rectangle of silver, a small fortress of quiet strength. Inside it, a fern spirals upward, sensing change, leaning gently. It whispers: remain flexible. Move with the wind.

This ring is a reminder: I am my own ground. Sturdy. Whole. Rooted in myself. No storm can unmake me. I bend, but I do not break. I keep growing.

Within the Fern.
Forged with recycled silver.


Centering

I made this ring as a kind of anchor.

Three layers of silver.
A cross at the center with a small dot—me, maybe.
The lines are chiseled by hand, radiating outwards, like those God’s eyes we made
with yarn in the 70s.
Or like something ancient and ceremonial, like a papal ring.
Everything in it leads to the center, or comes from it.

It’s weighty. Solid in the hand, and in meaning.

Every piece I create holds a reflection of my soul, and this one speaks to the way I feel now:
Whole.
Centered.
I’m no longer torn between a thousand directions.
No longer trying to fit in.
No longer seeking to belong to anyone else.

I belong to me.
And it feels calm.
It feels right.
It feels like truth.

Centering Ring.
Forged with purpose from recycled sterling silver.


The Shape of Time

Texture of the past.

Silence of now.

One shape speaks in history,

the other in essence.

You’re still here.

Lighter.

More you.

The Shape of Time.
Forged with fire and recycled sterling silver.


Trust What You See

A darkened silver eye—quiet, alert.
Etched into fire-scarred metal.
It doesn't just look.
It perceives.
We live in a world that rewards doubt,
That trains us to override instinct,
To question what is clearly there.
But your body remembers.
Your perception is sacred.
Now more than ever,
Trust what you see. Know what you know.

Trust What You See.
One of a kind. Hand-forged in recycled sterling silver.


The Depth of You

Sometimes the surface is all we see—

a city of lines, moving fast, holding shape.

But underneath,

there’s a rhythm only you know.

A pulse that rises and falls with feeling.

And deeper still,

something ancient lives in you—

intact, waiting, powerful.

This ring holds that quiet truth.

The Depth of You.
Made by hand, made to remember.

Sanctum

They say a bird once flew between worlds,
forged in twilight silver,
with a heart of crystal to hold the truth.
It carries no lies, no chains -only peace, freedom, and the courage to be seen.

Sanctum Talisman.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver and transparent quartz.


Womb of Stars

Constellations remind me that we’re never alone. Every step we take becomes part of a larger pattern –invisible, but deeply felt. We move through this life shaping one another, just by being here.

This piece carries that feeling –of quiet connection, of being part of something vast and meaningful.

Do you ever feel that, too? Like your path is part of a story bigger than you?

Womb of Stars.
Hand-forged with recycled sterling silver.
As singular as a heartbeat.


Liberated

I’ve been saving this large and luminous labradorite for many years, but I worried it was too big for a pendant. Lately, it had been calling my attention every time I opened my box of gemstones, so I finally listened and brought it out. Here it is, free at last, illuminating the heart of this wild bird.

Liberated Pendant.
Handmade with labradorite and recycled sterling silver.


Embraced

I made this little fellow, because lately I’ve been contemplating what it means to be human. I am 52 years old and I always thought that one day I’d find inner peace, the kind that feels stable and lasting. Somedays I do, but then there are others where inner turmoil makes me want to escape.

I’ve realized that perhaps what needs to go is the illusion that I will be a calm and equanimous person, without the highs and lows that both delight and afflict me. As someone sensitive, I feel the beauty and the tragedy of this existence, and that two sided coin seems to be my nature. Having to surrender to this condition has humbled me. I belong to the earth, feet on the ground, pain and love in my heart.

Embraced Talisman.
Handmade with amethyst and recycled sterling silver.


Environment

I am the daughter of an architect. Growing up, my father would point out the world around us: every staircase, archway, tile and sculpture. He taught me that the size of windows and their location on the façade gave a house its face; that the thickness of the walls made it feel reliable or flimsy; and its color could alter or calm the people who lived there. From him, I learnt that the design of buildings and public spaces shapes our imagination and the quality of our lives.

Today I can't help but observe and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings. Perhaps it was his clever plan, because now that my dad is gone, I feel he can still see the world through my eyes.

Environment Necklace.
Handmade with ametrine and recycled sterling silver.

Robust Talisman

I’ve always loved the talismans made by the Ersari, Tekke and Yomud tribes of Turkmenistan. The ‘asyk’ or heart-shaped pendant has been typically worn by women and symbolizes health and fertility.

Here is my own version, with a large sun at the center to bring warmth to the heart.

Handmade with carnelian and recycled sterling silver.


Dance

I returned from vacation ready to dance with creation.

Dance Ring.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.


Unraveled

Whenever I finish a piece, I always ask: who are you? Because even if she was born from me, this is the first time we meet.

Here, I see an upright figure who stands on her own two feet, who occupies the space she needs, and is led by a big complex heart that is constantly evolving.

I also see a curious sheep and a bird… What do you see?

Unraveled Talisman.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.


Truth

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
— Virginia Woolf

Truth Pendant.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.


Sanctuary

When I was a child, The Secret Garden, By Frances Hodgson Burnett, was one of my favorite books.

It is the story of a neglected orphaned girl who goes to live with a rich uncle who is never home. Restless and lonely, she wanders through the large estate, until she discovers a secret walled garden that belonged to his dead wife.

As she, her crippled cousin, and other endearing characters tend the garden back to life, they too regain their joy and blossom.

The message of this story seems to me as vital now as it was then, which is why I made this amulet to embody the healing power of nature, love and our chosen community.

Sanctuary Amulet.
Handmade with hessonite garnet and recycled sterling silver.


Fertile

16 years ago I made my first piece of jewelry. It was a protective hand, or Hamsa, as it is known in the Middle East. I made it to bless and protect my creative path ahead.

I knew that the way of the artist is uncertain: you have to trust invisible ideas long enough to make them tangible.

There are no roadmaps: you must change course, or stay on the same path, in order to continue, and be guided only by intuition.

If you make a living from what you create, you have to create without thinking about selling (or you will stop free exploration), and then somehow sell what you’ve created.

It is a solitary path with few distractions from your inner world, which you must protect from distractions from the outer world.

Without knowing it then, I chose the perfect talisman. The one I made today, is in gratitude for all I’ve learnt along the way.

Merge

Solitude is the place of purification and transformation, the place of the great struggle and the great encounter.
— Henri Nouwen

Merged Necklace.
Handmade with lapis lazuli and recycled sterling silver.


Concurrent

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
— Naomi Shihab Nye

Concurrent Necklace.
Handmade with malachite and recycled sterling silver.
