| "I truly believe that jewelry is wearable art and I approach each of my pieces that way. The color and form of my stones, the compatibility of stone and metal type with the piece I have in mind, the 'wearability' of each piece, all of these things are in my mind as I work on a particular composition." |
| "I love the evolutionary transformation – through hammering, persuasion, and struggle – from a flat sheet of metal towards an object of unity and fluidity." | |
|
| "Often the pieces I make reveal more of themselves the closer you look, so what you see at first glance is not the whole story." |
"My cuff bracelets are made with Argentium Sterling Silver sheet. Each design is hand engraved in the Western Style and formed into their shape using a 20 ton press. Little care is needed in keeping Argentium Sterling radiant and beautiful." | |
"I apply a variety of ancient textile techniques to wire to produce striking combinations of pattern and texture. I weave and braid Argentium silver and 14kt. gold-fill wire by hand without using jigs or special tools. My necklaces are made with a weaving technique that can be traced to the Vikings (10th century). All pieces are constructed and finished by hand, without solder, fusing, or commercial findings." | |
"Argentium Sterling Silver sheet has provided me this new medium for applying chasing, engraving and repousse techniques. Its aversion to firescare tolerates multiple annealings and its tarnish resistance allows me to frame my work behind glass." | |

| "My early training in book illustration has no doubt influenced my approach to silversmithing. For me, a shiny mirror-like expanse of silver is like a blank page waiting for images, marks, or the play of light on bumps and hollows to bring it to life." |

| Mokume-gane (or mokume) means in Japanese "wood grained metal". Mokume is a class of metals made with two or more layers manipulated to create a decorative visual effect. The layered structure may be formed by soldering, welding, powder metallurgy or some other process. The decorative visual effect, or pattern, is inherent to the structure of the metal and cannot wear off. |

| "Since 1986 I have been creating jewelry that is dramatic, elegant, and flattering to women of all ages. Inspired by the Modernist movement of the 20th Century, the sculpture of Calder and Picasso, the design style of Russell Wright, as well as my favorite childhood cartoon - the Jetsons - my timeless designs are fun, lightweight and easy to wear." |

|
| "My husband and I work in a freeform process, pushing the medium to the limits in an effort to create different and unusual effects. We also weave Argentium Silver and gold wire to form unusual chain and bezels to hold the very large stones. With the anti-tarnishing feature of Argentium Silver, adding a karat gold accent seems natural." www.laguna-blue.com |
