I don’t warm up at the gym and I don’t do practice rounds at my jewelry bench. It isn’t because I am overly confident about my work. It’s because I have to see how the gold itself behaves. The great thing about the material I work in is that it’s reversible.Melt it down, removing the diamonds and sapphires if it didn’t pour well.

Just as I prep the gold to melt I realize I need to leave immediately to go pick up the girls from school. I have no snacks ready and I rush out the door knowing they will be so annoyed I am showing up empty handed. 2pm is arguably in the middle of the work day for most adults yet this is when school is out so it’s the en

Can you tell I’ve lived in LA too long? Need to open a business? Better call your astrologer and make sure Jupiter’s on board. Planning a photoshoot? Naturally, you run it by your medium first.The last professional shoot I did was in early 2020 when I was still with a showroom. Beautiful images. Great model. Perfect lighting. They never felt like me. The jewelry could have belonged to anyone.What a memory. I have zero recollection of being at the shoot. I was actually surprised to see myself in
