About
Engagements and Weddings are an extremely special time in a couples life together.

Having an engagement ring made specifically for your beloved can bring such meaning to the process of asking for their hand in marriage. You will have a story to tell about how the ring came into being and why you chose the elements that are incorporated into the piece.

Wedding rings, as well, are at the crux of your union. They hold the symbolism and contain the memory of your most wonderful day. Commissioning a set of wedding bands can be a truly fun and inspiring process together. Your bands can match, or simply reflect the other by incorporating a few of the same elements. Either way, they represent you and your loved one as individuals as well as the unity you share.

As the artist in the process I love meeting with happy couples and helping make their wedding day truly spectacular.

I work from my studio in Charlottesville, Virginia creating distinct jewelry and wedding bands, transforming Sterling SIlver, Gold, Titanium, and Platinum into the distinct jewelry I design with couples for their special day.  I also make jewelry for bridal parties, and gifts for the most special of friends and family that help you create the best day of your life.

I own a Tavia pendant and have seen her work at several shows. She is creative, meticulous, and innovative. I have referred couples to her with confidence and their wedding bands (and other pieces for bridesmaids and flower girls) are beautiful!

Tips and Advice
The Spring wedding season is in full bloom and I've been really busy meeting with beaming brides and grooms to help design the perfect rings for their unions.

Having rings created specially to represent your union and your individuality is truly pricless as you gaze at your one-of-a-kind rings everyday. Finding a designer is the first step. A good match is someone who embodies a style that draws you in and keeps you intrigued. Once you find a metalsmith whose style speaks to you, a phone, or in-person, meeting is the next step to discovering a design specific to you. Together, you will discuss metal choices, stone choices if desired, textures, motifs, inscrptions, sizes, and more. After a final design is agreed upon, and a due date is established, the artist will begin work on creating the perfect rings you both have been dreaming of. Finally, the day comes, when the package arrives in the mail, or you meet in person to pick up the rings. They are more exquisite and amazing than you could've imagined. Priceless. Cherished. Forever.
