I love space. So very much. You could say I am obsessed. Nothing gets my heart racing like a new release of a Hubble image, or news of water found on a far away moon, that could possibly contain microbial life.

I loved science growing up, but not until later in life did the wonders of outer space truly capture my imagination. Mix that with my lifelong love of design and jewelry, and here we are.

I am a one woman workforce, sourcing photos for these designs, using photoshop to get the details just right, and then preserving them behind glass domes.

I put a lot of detail and care into each piece. my process goes from developing the design of the piece, manipulating it in photoshop to fit the parameters, prepping the glass domes (I coat each piece with a UV resistant layer to keep them from prematurely yellowing due to the Sun's rays) and then hand cutting, then if the design calls for it it, sanding and then wire wrapping the pieces to then attach to findings to create the final design.

I make all of my jewelry with sterling silver components, unless otherwise stated. It is important to me to use the highest quality of materials in all designs. I say if its worth doing, its worth doing right. A little bit of added effort goes a long way, especially in this day and age when doing it the faster and cheaper way has become the norm.

I put my heart and soul and love into every piece of jewelry I make. I think the glory of the universe deserves every bit of that time and effort.

Much love to you,
