Threads of Spring

This collection was created during that shift into spring, when the days begin to lengthen, the air softens, and creativity starts to move again after winter’s quiet. It is a collection meant to be lived in, layered, and worn as part of your everyday rhythm.

My work did not begin as a silversmith, those skills came later, shaped over time but as an artist with a deep love of anthropology and a pull toward understanding how we, as humans, express ourselves through what we make and what we wear.

My earliest inspiration came through travel, moving into the raw edges of different cultures, seeking what felt untouched and authentic. I was drawn to places where meaning was still embedded in the work itself—stitched into fabric, forged into metal, painted, dyed, and assembled into objects that carried something deeper than decoration.

And what stayed with me most was that it was always wearable. Across cultures, across time, we have always expressed ourselves through what we place on the body.

Before the internet, before the speed of trends, symbols held real weight. They were created for survival, for identity, for protection. Fish patterns in Japan, opium buds in Thailand, phallic symbols in Bhutan and India—each one intentional, each one understood within its own cultural language.

The textiles held a particular kind of beauty—hand-stitched threads, metallic trims, layered details that were reserved for ceremony, for weddings, for celebration. These were not everyday adornments, but pieces created to mark something meaningful.

The chokers in this collection come from that lineage.

Hand-stitched in India, their patterns felt familiar to me in a way I couldn’t fully explain at first. Over time, I began to recognize them as something I had already experienced in my own meditative practice—patterns that mirror the movement of prana through the body, energy that flows, refreshes, and empowers.

This spring, I found myself drawn to layering—to bringing together color, texture, and material in a way that feels alive.

Vibrant gemstones paired with hand-stitched fabrics.
Silver anchoring the work.
Pieces designed not to stand alone, but to build upon one another.

I dress differently because of this collection.

I keep my clothing simple—soft silk, organic cotton, quiet forms that allow space for the jewelry to speak. And then I layer. Chokers stacked three or more, fabrics building across the neckline, metallic threads catching the light. Talismans draping down the body, adding movement, color, and intention.

I dress for the jewelry.

There is something about these layers that feels like spring itself, not loud or overwhelming, but vibrant in a way that is both powerful and refined. The color, the texture, the movement, it all comes together in a way that feels effortless, yet deeply intentional.

These are the pieces I wear every day, while working, traveling, gathering, and moving through my life. And over time, they begin to feel like more than adornment.

They feel like protection.
Like intention held close.
Like something that supports you as you move forward.

Threads, silver, objects, and inscriptions—bound together to become something greater.

My power.
My love.
My protection.
