I started designing jewelry 20 years ago as a creative release when I was working in accounting. I saw a necklace in Nordstrom one day that I wanted, but couldn't afford. I looked at it. I studied it. I thought I could make something like that. I went to a wonderful bead store in Palo Alto, California, and they were wonderful enough to teach me a couple of basic wire wrap techniques. I was hooked. Slowly friends started to purchase them from me. I was thrilled. I gave it up for a few years when I got married to become a finish our home remodel. After my kids were born, I started to make jewelry during their nap time and after they went to bed. I sold my jewelry through various art galleries in Carmel, Lahaina, and Pleasanton. I started to do imprints in clay of children't hands and feet in my garage. I quickly realized how inspirational I find my kids to be. Over the years, I have sold personalized "Mommy" jewelry made by others as well as myself.
Pure Family Jewelry is the culmination of all that I have learned up to this point. It is fun for me to make and I create each piece with love.
Why "Family Jewelry"? Well, I guess I like to be a bit different. I know how much pride fathers have in their children, too. I also know that our animals are very much a part of our family and we want the best for them. I promise to continue to push the envelope with new styles that are of impeccable, handmade craftsmanship.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and to have come to my website.
I am blessed to be surrounded by people that believe in me and to have the two most loving and cool kids I could have ever imagined!
