Tresors and Materials
Every piece begins with the material. Not the design — the material. A pearl pulled from the South Pacific. A gold bead cast from an ancient original. A strand of leather cut by hand. The treasure comes first. The jewel follows.
Cultured Pearls
Tahitian black pearls and Australian white and golden pearls — purchased directly from pearl farms. The oldest known gems and the only ones produced by living creatures. Each pearl is unique in shape, color, luster, and overtone. I select every pearl by hand for the piece it will become.
Solid Gold
18K and 24K solid gold — not plated, not filled, not vermeil. Every gold element is sculpted in wax and cast by hand. Some are original designs. Others are cast from authentic ancient originals — African trade beads, Roman beads, Greek coins — preserving every mark left by centuries of use.
Premium Kangaroo Leather
The softest and most resistant leather in the world. Every strand is hand-cut, hand-rolled, and conditioned for maximum suppleness. Supple from the first wear, developing a deep personal patina over time. It is the thread that binds every piece together.
Rare Stones and Treasures
Congolese malachite. Nevada spiderweb turquoise. Afghan lapis lazuli. Raw emeralds. Genuine Victorian sea glass from Seaham, England. Hand-carved crystal glass. Authentic pirate coins. And whatever the next journey brings. Every stone and artifact carries the history of its journey, its provenance, its time on this earth.
All these treasures that I have not yet discovered, and that for now continue to be weathered by the sands of time, are only patiently waiting for your encounter to continue their legend.
