Finding Beauty in Montana: The Story Behind My Jewelry

There’s something magical about creating with your hands, especially when inspiration comes directly from the land around you. Living in Montana, I’m surrounded by mountains, rivers, and skies that shift from fiery sunsets to soft starlit nights. These natural elements find their way into every piece of jewelry I design, from rustic turquoise rings to delicate silver pendants.

When I sit at my bench, torch in hand, it’s more than just silversmithing—it’s storytelling. Each stone carries its own history: garnet pulled from deep within the earth, turquoise shaped by time and weather, jasper with patterns as unique as fingerprints. My goal is to honor these materials and let their natural character shine, creating jewelry that feels timeless and personal.

Handcrafted jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a connection. When you wear one of my pieces, you’re not just adding a necklace or a pair of earrings to your collection; you’re carrying a piece of Montana’s spirit with you. That’s why no two designs are ever exactly alike. Just like the people who wear them, each piece is one of a kind.

I believe jewelry should feel like it belongs to you the moment you put it on—whether it’s a statement ring that reminds you of strength or a pendant that whispers of adventure. My hope is that these creations don’t just decorate, but inspire: to pause, to notice beauty, and to carry a little piece of wild Montana wherever life takes you.
