I designed this ring to hold two things at once a secret love letter and a revelation. From above, it reads as something quietly elegant, almost antique in its sensibility. Turn it in your hand and two love birds appear, facing each other across a teal sapphire I chose because it reminded me of water. A birdbath. A place birds return to refresh.

The quetzal is sacred in the culture my family comes from a symbol of freedom that cannot survive in captivity. I wanted my first bird ring to carry that. This is my heritage, worked in gold.

The diamond came first. An heirloom, carried from somewhere she may never know.

The islands grew around it. Frangipani for devotion, new beginnings, the fragility of something precious. Bird of paradise in Montana sapphire for joy, for freedom, for where they’re headed.

One stone. Two flowers. Three islands of meaning.

Some diamonds keep their secrets. This one let Hawaii speak for it.

Some couples arrive knowing exactly what they want.

These two came with a feeling.

Old world. Classic. Something that held both of them.

One is a history teacher, drawn to art deco’s timeless geometry, the kind of beauty that endures. The other finds peace in nature, in the quiet language of leaves and living things.

So we brought their worlds together.

The Empire State’s architectural lines are engraved into the band, accented by baguettes that catch light like a skyline at dusk.

And cradling the rosecut diamond, a botanical leaf, soft and organic, a breath of green in all that gold.

They wanted something unique. A statement. Something comfortable enough to live in every day.

What they built is exactly that, a love that balances structure with softness, history with growth.

A ring that holds both of them, the way they hold each other.

Once lost but now found. A new wedded ring design for my long time clients. Sometimes in between years we grow into our selves more refined with a hint of the whimsy that’s always been present.

It’s one of those days of ideas swimming around in my mind.

Rosecut diamonds have a way of slowing time.

Their broad, open facets gather light softly, like moonlight on water or sunlight through a window at golden hour. With more of the diamond visible and less hidden beneath the surface, they invite you deeper into their world, revealing every silvery flash, every dreamy reflection.

There’s something wonderfully timeless about a rosecut diamond.

Their custom engagement ring was inspired by the ginkgo trees on the campus where they first met.

Ancient and enduring, ginkgos are like quiet witnesses to time, memory, and resilience. It feels like such a beautiful symbol for a partnership and the life they are building together.

We carried that feeling into the ring through soft organic textures inspired by antlers, as though the band had been shaped slowly by the landscape itself.

The art of comfort is something I think about deeply when designing a ring.

Not just how it looks, but how it feels to live with.

Soft edges. Gentle balance. Harmony against the skin.
A buttery smoothness that becomes part of your body rather than sitting on top of it.

The quiet luxury of a ring is often in the details you don’t immediately see, the softened contours, the weight, the way light moves across a surface designed to feel calm and effortless in motion.

Jewelry should feel embodied. Like it belongs to you instantly.

Stepping into painting or drawing may take hours, moments or daydreams. But when you finally arrive at a state that synchronizes your quiet mind, slow breath and relaxed body, you are connecting with flow. This is a grateful state of joy and peace. No chatter. Embracing the oops and naming it the perfect imperfections because it’s natural. I love to see the graphite strength ebb, the watercolor to puddle and the markers to layer. This is what I share with you.
