This year has been a weird one full of new frontiers that have kept me from creating new collections. In fact, this commission represents some of the only original work I've produced all year.

It happens to be one of my favorite annual projects because it symbolizes all the best reasons why you wear jewelry.

These rings are a sentimental reflection and celebration of the unique 20-year friendship these ladies share.

Originally forged in the workplace, these ladies have become a dynamo team together outside work, and their success together has flourished for many years now.

The first commission was three custom necklaces for them to wear at their company’s big yearly gala. Each necklace was to be a little bit different since they would all be wearing them together for the big event.

The result was so successful and made the evening so memorable that we have continued the tradition every year since.

This was the first year we decided to do rings and the first project that required silversmithing and bench work.

Let's just say that it felt good to finally be at the bench again creating in the physical world. 💙💍✨
