Designs
These one-of-a-kind unique designs are primarily assembled
from worldwide cultural ethnographic components, many of tribal and/or
antique origin.
The images within this site represent
just a minute glimpse of
the excitement---each piece is UNIQUE and each comes with descrip-
tive documentation. I personally collect the primary component---either
in situ or from an ethnic dealer, research the cultural usage and
design of the component, select the appropriate accompanying high-grade
materials, and carefully hand assemble each work of art. Each jewelry
design can be customized to your particular length and overall color
palette.

My love of the cultures of the world,
specifically represented by adornment ----jewelry and costume/textile,
has led me to this most fascinating vocation. Over a number of years
of travel, personal
collection, and research of such disappearing artifacts, I now wish
to share these rare and fascinating pieces so that you, too, may experience
this enrichment

century, heavy silver peacock pendant with articulated chain

revered and national bird of India. Not available

I particularly enjoy your participation
in the design process. The preservation of these artifacts becomes
crucial as tribal peoples become more absorbed into modern life
and the arts are lost. With these works of art you become a protector
of these arts.
Join me in sharing
some of the world and its people!
